Single Family Detached Bordentown

Step into a piece of Bordentown history. Originally commissioned in 1900 by the owner of a nearby factory, this remarkable estate was thoughtfully designed well ahead of its time, blending grand architecture with practical features rarely found in historic homes—including oversized walk-in closets and expansive living spaces. Set on more than an acre and a half, this 3,278-square-foot residence offers an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Bordentown’s most distinctive properties.

From the moment you enter, the home’s craftsmanship is unmistakable. A stunning grand staircase, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and exquisite woodwork showcase the elegance of a bygone era, while Frank Lloyd Wright masonry details and a custom metal kitchen hood crafted by the renowned JL Mott Ironworks Factory add architectural character seldom found today.

Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features five bedrooms - including a convenient first-floor bedroom - along with two additional flex rooms ideal for home offices, a library, or additional accommodations. The updated kitchen with viking appliances is complemented by a walk-through butler’s pantry with original glass door cabinetry, while both full bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with respect for the home’s historic integrity, including the preservation of the original clawfoot tub in the upstairs bath.

Multiple fireplaces, including one in the primary bedroom, create warm and inviting spaces throughout the home. Outside, enjoy the charm of a wraparound porch as well as a partially enclosed porch, and a side portico alongside mature trees and a partially fenced backyard. An expansive driveway and a full basement spanning the home’s entire footprint add both convenience and functionality.

Perhaps the rarest feature of all is the property’s exceptional future potential. The rear portion of the lot was previously approved for construction of a second dwelling (2,500 sqft) and already has a separate driveway along with existing utility connections, including electric, sewer, and gas. Buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding current approvals and permitted use. Seller makes no warranty or future guarantee of city approvals to build.

With a roof replaced just one year ago and updates completed with careful respect for the home’s historic character, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark property where timeless craftsmanship, modern comfort, and exceptional possibilities come together
