Country Village Living Thrives in Liberty Corner
4-Bedroom Colonial Offers Solid Construction and Modern Updates
Bernards Township, NJ — In a frenzied world where beeps and ringtones provide the musical score to our lives, a 1920’s colonial on the main street of Liberty Corner strikes a more human rhythm.
Reserve the grand center hall foyer for formal occasions and enter around the back. The patio and generous covered porch will inspire friends and loved ones to click off their cell phones and linger for a spell, chatting about everything and nothing, while pouring hand-squeezed lemonade from a hand-blown pitcher. Instantly, life returns to its senses.
Country Village Roots
The ambiance begins with the community itself. The heart of Liberty Corner is a prized section of Basking Ridge, known for its small town feel. Shops and small businesses, a yoga and fitness studio, a school and expansive playing field, an historic church, and the widely acclaimed Focacceria Ristorante with al fresco dining, are all a short walk away.
Beyond the town proper is a bevy of newer custom homes in the multi-million dollar range, proving that contemporary lifestyles yearn to stay connected to country village roots.
Solid Construction
As a well-preserved historic home, this distinguished residence is a rare find.
Plotted on a generous corner lot of 1.22 acres, its proud façade is stately without being ostentatious. Its landscaping is more natural than fussy.
Crowning the roof is a widow’s walk, an architectural detail reminiscent of Nantucket off the coast of Cape Cod. Just like homes built by whaling captains in days of yore, the construction of this home is solid and intended to endure through the ages.
Modern Updates Throughout
Inside, numerous updates compliment the home’s historic qualities and have kept pace with modern times, including hardwood flooring and a recently remodeled kitchen with custom cabinetry, farm sink and granite countertops.
Throughout the home the size of the rooms are large enough to feel spacious, yet retain a sense of intimacy and charm with crown molding, built-ins and fireplaces.
Four bedrooms provide ample space for guests and a growing family, and include a master with en suite and walk-in closet.
Quaint Nooks and Crannies
Perhaps the most intriguing level of the house is the third floor, where peaked ceilings and brickwork frame the perfect nook for a private getaway—maybe a home office or studio where technology is merely a click away.
