Property Description
elegant home, lovingly known as “Pin Oak Farm,” has been restored to its original level
of elegance, while adding the comforts and conveniences of present-day living. This
estate is set on nearly 1.09 acres of rolling lawn, featuring many grand old trees, fruit
trees, an herb garden, and a vegetable garden. Like many historic homes, this one was
built in stages, with additions in 1849 and the 1930s.
Pin Oak Farm harkens back to the era of Joshua Stokes, its original owner, who was a
prominent Quaker farmer. Its 5,400 square feet includes 5 bedrooms (with potential for
2 more), 4 ½ baths, and three staircases. Ceiling heights range from 9 to 11 ½ feet, and
there are spectacular New Jersey Red Pine Heart floors throughout.
The pillared front porch welcomes you home each day with stately charm, reminding
you of the storied footsteps that have crossed its threshold for almost 200 years. If
these walls could talk! In true center hall colonial style, the large foyer opens to twin
parlors, each boasting a fireplace. One parlor is presently used as a family room, while
the other opens into a formal living room / music room. Numerous original blown-glass
ceiling-height windows – many with lovely, deep-set windowsills – let in an abundance
of light.
Pin Oak Farm offers nine fireplaces – four wood, four gas, and one electric – all working
and each unique, with one boasting still-pristine Delft tile. Imagine the fragrance of
oak wood crackling in the fireplace on a spring or autumn day, while aromas of banana
bread emanate from one of two kitchens. The main kitchen boasts plenty of fine
cabinetry, imported Italian tile, an eating alcove, shelves for cookbooks, a wall oven,
and a professional-caliber Garland range. Adjacent to the main kitchen is a secondary
kitchen with a wood-fire pizza oven. Imagine the parties you can host here!
Outside, in addition to the flower garden areas and a very large pool, you’ll find two
driveways and 3 patios, which includes one loggia, and one with an intimate courtyard
setting. The current owners have erected a 2 car post-and-beam barn with a loft storage
area which was brought down from Connecticut and assembled on the property. They
retained the original footprint of the equipment shed, which it replaced. In addition, there
is another outbuilding, the original ice house for the property, which has been renovated
with a new beamed roof and 28in thick stone walls, a pea gravel floor and a no-vent gas
fireplace. It is used now as a wine cellar as opposed to its original purpose. It is,
however, the same 1825 year vintage as the main structure of the property..
Throughout this home, remarkable details and impeccable craftsmanship blend
seamlessly to create an aura of the elegance of long-ago. Multiple generations of family
could dwell here with plenty of privacy and comfort. The home’s gas and water heater
were updated just five years ago, and the home’s natural insulation – 28 inches of stone
– help to maintain temperatures. Air conditioning is adaptive throughout the home to
maintain the integrity of the time period. The basement is huge and dry, with plenty of
space for storage. The current owner speculates that a secret door in the basement
might have once housed an underground railroad stop. There is attic-space storage as
well. Pin Oaks farm also features a stellar security system with a central monitoring
system.
