Overview

Luxuriate in space and exquisite finishes in a fantastic location. Walk up the limestone steps to the mahogany porch and be wowed when you step through the Dutch door onto the black and white marble of the center hall. Own a piece of Hightstown History. Built for Dr. Franklin in 1885, who assisted in treating Woodrow Wilson shortly before he was elected President, this house was lives and breathes comfort and grace. Exquisitely rejuvenated during the past three years, you walk into an impressive home with a black and white marble entry hall and original marble fireplace surrounds. A cherry cabinets in the kitchen highlight the original cooking hearth herringbone brick floor and extend past a full bath into the butlers pantry/laundry. The double parlor with original plaster moldings and floors looks out onto South Main Street and the Peddie School grounds. Enjoy the look and feel of steam heat emanating from the reconditioned period radiators, original wavy glass and a Harry Potter under the stairs closet.

The former medical consultation rooms offer the opportunity for bedrooms, in-law suite, professional office with its separate door leading to the front porch. En-suite Bathroom and three grandly sized closets complete this wing, which is ideal for a professional suite, in-law suite or the main bedroom suite.

Ascend the mahogany staircase to the second floor with three amply sized bedrooms and a roof deck.
Main bedroom has a walk-in closet and second closet. Attached bathroom has both an walk-in shower, soaking tub and period 1940s accent fixtures - medicine cabinet and toothbrush holder. With a new 75 gallon water heater, you will always have a hot bath.

All services have been upgraded. The roof on the main house and garage were installed in early 2025. This grand 1885 residence comes replete with a 4-zone AC system

Up the stairs to the expansive open plan third floor with its ultra modern bath and bowling alley dimensions. Perfect for the above-ground man cave, teenage hangout or art studio space. Stairway lighting and window candles add to the allure

Outside, enjoy the wisteria arbor with granite patio, beautiful magnolia tree and Japanese cherry trees in the Spring and the everblooming flowers and grape trellises. The two car garage can be used for vehicles as there is ample storage space in the full basement and on the third floor.
