127 E Asbury Anderson Rd, Washington Twp, NJ 07882-4050

Stone Hill. Some homes are built. This one was kept. A meticulously restored 1827 stone residence in the countryside of Washington Township -- two centuries of craftsmanship, preserved and made effortlessly livable. The great room is unlike any you've stood in: 600 sq ft anchored by a 28-foot-wide sweep of exposed stone (the home's original 1827 ex

terior, now embraced within), a wood-burning fireplace, exposed beams, a marble wet bar, and the warm glow of wide-plank pumpkin pine. The home's history unfolds room by room. The dining room was the original 1827 kitchen, anchored by its brick fireplace and wood-burning stove.

A wood Dutch door opens to a half-wraparound porch. A historic New Jersey winder staircase turns between floors. Restored pumpkin pine flows through most of both levels. Historic and livable are not a compromise here -- they are a pairing. 3,728 sq ft main residence, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths.

A separate carriage house adds 500 sq ft of finished, heated flex space above a two-car garage. Two acres transformed into a private park, with 100 tons of natural rock integrated as sculpted landscape and a designer lighting system that sets stone, trees, and pathways aglow -- so that pulling into the driveway at night feels like coming home to a storybook.

Set along a country road within the Asbury Historic District (National Register of Historic Places), across from a private golf course, just over an hour from NYC. Come see it at dusk, when it is at its most magical.
