    What's special

    This stately home was at one time the Rectory for the White Fathers. Its rich history and custom features offer uncompromised attention to detail. This 12-room Victorian dates to a time when the latest building fashions from France were influencing architecture here. This 3-story home is a feast for the eyes and a balm for the spirit with library, music room, impressive pocket doors, intricate chestnut moldings, original woodwork, refinished hardwood floors, oak carved fireplace, sunny solarium, 2 staircases and 6 bedrooms! The old world elegance retains the traditional character of its roots while being beautifully restored and lovingly cared for by the present owners. Conveniently located in Metuchen near train to NYC within 38 minutes, an active downtown with cafes, restaurants and shopping, plus an excellent school system - public and private. Metuchen is located within minutes to all major arteries - Route 1, Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike and Route 287.
