Description
The property is in Mendham Borough, although this site's software insists on identifying it as within Mendham Township. It is a single-family house, converted from a Carriage House (originally built circa 1910) sometime around 1950. The interior requires extensive repairs and upgrades, which the sellers are unprepared to conduct themselves, but the exterior still displays its distinctive charm and character. The sellers are motivated, and the price is negotiable, but it already reflects the house's shortcomings, in an area where most properties are valued in the millions of dollars. The owner(s) currently occupy the house.The value is the real estate itself: more than 5 acres, on a private road, atop the Bernardsville Mountain. Potential buyers can renovate, rebuild on existing footprint, or consider building a much larger house on the undeveloped field. One adjacent property has right-of-way via an easement. It is a secluded, tree-filled, quiet setting, with just three neighboring households, all on large lots. There are two small bedrooms on second floor, along with a full bathroom. An additional room, adjacent to staircase and dining room, can serve as a third bedroom, office, or den. The house is typically approached via a paved pathway, underneath a leafy trellis, from the 2-3 car gravel driveway. A rustic, red barn can be a workshop or 2-car garage. It has a new, shingled roof, but the structure shows its age.
