Property description
This stunning colonial style landmark residence has a stately yet gracious presence offering soul and history.

If that is not enough, a 2,972 sq. ft. carriage house, currently a spacious office for the work from home situation or could be an in-law suite, etc. If unique and one of a kind are on your wish list, look no further. This home is truly a must see! Stones throw from Rumson Country Club. Short distance to Sandy Hook, happening Sea Bright, Red Bank and Pier Village.
