A beautifully-restored Victorian dating back to 1887 is sited on over a half-acre of park-like property in Califon Borough. Set high enough on its manicured grounds to take in dramatic views of the South Branch of the Raritan River, this delightful home is located several blocks from the Califon Borough Elementary School, Califon General Store and Columbia Trail. Covered front and side porches embrace the charming cedar clapboard residence, which also features gingerbread trim, a herringbone-patterned rear patio, picket-fenced vegetable garden and detached garage.
Inside, the three bedroom, one-and-one-half bath floor plan was renovated in 2009 and showcases the very best design elements of late 19th century architecture as well as an updated chef’s kitchen and baths. Lustrous maple flooring, elaborate millwork, rosette-framed windows, four-panel solid doors, mahogany entry door, ornate fireplace mantles, and bead board or raised panel walls enhance many of the gathering spaces. Round and octagonal coffered ceilings add dimensional interest overhead in select rooms.
The welcoming point of entry is a foyer featuring a wrought iron chandelier, raised panel walls extending up the staircase and deep crown ceiling moldings. Maple flooring is found throughout the main floor. In the living room, an electric fireplace framed in wood and marble is a distinctive focal point. A window seat, circular coffered ceiling with chandelier, bookcases tucked under an arch and two columned entryways are further living room amenities. Rich details in the dining room include raised panel walls, an octagonal coffered ceiling with ceiling medallion and chandelier, crown moldings, and a glass door opening to the side porch. The cast iron faux fireplace anchors a 1996 family room addition appointed with traditional moldings and Jersey winder stairs to the second story.
Remodeled two years ago, the sophisticated center island kitchen is fitted with granite countertops, subway-style Spanish tile backsplash, 42-inch maple cabinetry, a natural gas fireplace, recessed lighting, bay window and built-in bookcases. Stainless steel appliances from Bosch™ include a gas stove, dishwasher and microwave as well as a Magic Chef™ 48-bottle wine cooler. A sun-filled dining area has an insulated glass door opening to the rear patio for outdoor meals. The first floor is completed by a convenient mud room and a stylish powder room.
On the second story, a master bedroom suite is detailed with an electric fireplace, yellow pine flooring, extensive millwork and closet. Two additional bedrooms are illuminated by chandeliers. An updated full bath features dual wall sinks, a Kohler™ soaking tub framed in Carrara marble, oval picture frame molding and an ornate chandelier. The laundry area completes the second level.
Additional living space is found in the 750-square-foot finished attic on the third level. It features bead board walls and ceilings, random width engineered flooring and a variety of storage closets.
Thoughtful features in this impeccably updated home include organic interior paint, latched doors, efficient and insulated low-E rated glass doors and replacement windows throughout, a security system, natural gas heating and public water. An oversized one-car detached garage with attic and an outdoor shed provide ample storage options.
Charm and natural beauty characterize the borough of Califon in Hunterdon County, a village featuring wonderful examples of Victorian architecture. The Califon Historical Society registered 170 structures with the National Register of Historic Places, and dwellings here are marked with the names of the builders and their dates of establishment rather than with street numbers. Local businesses housed in the antique buildings include an eclectic array of shops and services. Califon was once a station stop on the High Bridge Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The rail line was abandoned in 1976 and now serves as a Hunterdon County-administered rail trail called Columbia Trail, which runs south to High Bridge and north to Morris County. Local and interstate highways convenient to Califon include Routes 31, 22 and 78.
