Home Details for 53 Hoffmans Crossing Rd

Location, History, Privacy, and Views. Perched high above Lockwood Gorge, this restored c1750/1860 farmhouse overlooks a rare pastoral setting framed by long range views and magnificent sunsets. The original 18th century cottage features a center island kitchen showcasing exposed stone walls, soapstone and marble counters, Shaker style cabinets, and a cupboard staircase. The larger 1860s side added formal dining and living rooms with built-in cupboards and a stone fireplace. With two staircases and two baths, upstairs offers the flexibility to establish a primary suite on either side of the house or to utilize the room above the kitchen as a den or office. If more space is desired, the 4 bedroom septic may provide significant expansion potential. Elegant outside living spills out from the heated sun porch onto the oversized deck overlooking a picket fenced yard, natural stone retaining walls, perennial gardens, a large flat party field, a babbling creek with waterfall, and an antique bank barn. Surrounded by country towns and winding roads filled with cafes, wineries, general stores, park trails, art galleries and more, this magical property is surprisingly close to Manhattan and all that Northern New Jersey has to offer.
