Property Description

Unique opportunity to own a true piece of history in Phillipsburg, NJ! This remarkable 200+ year-old stone schoolhouse has been thoughtfully converted into a one-of-a-kind residence, blending timeless character with modern convenience. Rich in historic charm, the home features deep windowsills, exposed wood beams, and random-width wide plank flooring throughout. A stunning “revolutionary” fireplace mantel serves as a focal point, complemented by a Vermont Castings wood stove that adds warmth and ambiance. The property offers creative and functional touches including pocket storage and a convenient second-floor laundry. Two separate driveways, one on each side of the home, provide added flexibility. Outside, enjoy long road frontage and a peaceful setting with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The property also includes three storage sheds, two on concrete foundations, plus unique historic outbuildings including a smokehouse and rare lime kiln. A rooftop patio atop the former smokehouse creates a truly special outdoor retreat.
