What a rare combination! Vintage home and green home all rolled into
this newly renovated historic property on 2.5 beautifully landscaped
acres that has a pond graced by a private sandy beach, and an antique
stone wishing well.
The house was renovated with energy-efficiency as
the first priority: it is so well insulated that both stories can be
heated comfortably by the woodstove, yet all the windows, the furnace
and insulation are less than three years old. Original wood floors and
doors, marble floors in the sunroom and upstairs bathroom, clawfoot
tub, new slate roof as well as an oversized 2-car garage and
solar-powered in-ground pool.
Very close to Flemington, yet outside
the bustle of the borough.
Welcome to Flemington. The surrounding fertile farmland dictated that the beginnings of Flemington should be essentially agricultural.
Early German and English settlers engaged in industries dependent on farm products. As time passed poultry and dairy farms superseded crops in agricultural importance. An example of early settlement families was Johann David and Anna Maria Ephland, who immigrated in 1709 from Germany through London to New York and settled on his 147.5 acre farm in 1710. They raised their seven children, and two from his previous marriage, on the farm that now makes up the core of Flemington.
