Property Description
Set on approximately two breathtaking acres in the heart of Scotch Plains, this storied property is framed by a picturesque running brook along two sides, creating a private, nature-rich sanctuary alive with wildlife and tranquility.
Originally known as ''Old Windmill Farm,'' this remarkable property once spanned over 110 acres and served as a working mill producing cider, distilled spirits, and flour for the surrounding community. By the early 1900s, the mill was thoughtfully transformed into a residence--preserving its heritage while evolving into a truly extraordinary home. Today, this 5-bedroom, 3 full bath residence offers approximately 3,800 square f of character-filled living space where historic craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed brick walls measuring nearly 18 inches thick, and dramatic 30-foot chestnut ceiling timbers create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated.
The home features an original kitchen enhanced with updated appliances and countertops, along with a dedicated cook's room equipped with a commercial-grade stove--ideal for culinary enthusiasts. A newly renovated primary bathroom delivers a fresh, luxurious touch, while recently installed mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling across the first and second floors.
Outdoor living is just as compelling. A newer bluestone patio just off the kitchen sets the stage for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining, surrounded by the natural beauty of the property's lush grounds and flowing water features.
Additional highlights include generous closet space, attached garage with ample storage, and flexible living across three levels--perfect for today's lifestyle needs.
Ideally located near downtown Westfield and parks like Tamaques Reservation and Ash Brook, Shackamaxon Country Club, RWJ Fitness Center, top-rated schools, and NYC-bound transportation, the lifestyle here is as convenient as it is inspiring. This property offers both privacy and convenience.
There may also be potential for subdivision (buyer to conduct due diligence), adding an additional layer of long-term value.
This is more than a home--it's a legacy property. Opportunities like this are extraordinarily rare. Schedule your private showing and experience a piece of New Jersey history firsthand.
