9 Park Place East celebrates the era when architecture was art. Built by Samuel Jernee, circa 1860, as his personal residence, no expense was spared to provide such amenities like formed crown mouldings and columns, as well as exterior features like gazebo styling within the wraparound porch. In the heart of Cranbury’s historic district, the exterior and interior architectural integrity has been maintained. This stunning Victorian, set amidst the quaint bustle of Cranbury borough, will transport you to a bygone era of gracious living. Historic charm abounds from the stained glass transoms and wraparound front porch, to the antique crystal chandeliers and decorative columns throughout the living and dining rooms. Enjoy a good book in the library with plenty of natural light and decorative fireplace, or sip on morning coffee and afternoon sweet tea in the main living area with functional gas logs. En route to the kitchen with vintage wood burning stove, pass through the butler’s pantry which is both practical and pretty. Further down the hallway, the laundry area is concealed behind bi-folding closet doors, and the full bathroom with walk-in shower stall is conveniently located near the private backyard entrance. Upstairs, plantation shutters are featured in the primary bedroom and spacious full bath with double linen closet. The windows in bedroom #2 overlook the pool and quiet side street, bedroom #3 includes a built-in picture ledge, and guests of all ages will appreciate the tree-house effect from the real wood paneling in bedroom #4. Another set of stairs leads to the attic on the third floor, which consists of three multi-purpose rooms with large closet area and wall of windows. Outside, enjoy the privacy and the sensations of changing seasons with chestnut trees, mature hydrangea bushes, tall bamboo grasses, and fenced-in pool with diving board. Centrally located in New Jersey between New York and Philadelphia with nearby community parks, restaurants, and market venues, 9 Park Place East is a lovely fit for all your needs and interests.
