There's something especially appealing about a house that offers plenty of room to spread out while keeping so much of daily life close to home. On a lovely neighborhood street in Frenchtown, this historic home has the space and character to accommodate all sorts of plans, with the elementary school and Frenchtown Market just a few blocks away and the borough's shops and restaurants also close at hand. A big front porch sets the tone, with plenty of space for outdoor furniture and enjoying the neighborhood scene. Inside, the rooms are comfortably proportioned, beginning with a living room where a bay window with wood shutters and a built-in window seat adds a particularly charming detail. The adjoining dining room is ready for everything from weeknight dinners to larger gatherings. The kitchen is generously sized, with ample room to add an island, and opens to a large screened porch that feels like another living space when the weather cooperates. A separate laundry room keeps household tasks out of the kitchen, while a home office with a built-in desk and a powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer plenty of space, including two connecting rooms that could easily become a private main suite with a dressing room or sitting room. A spacious hall bathroom includes both a bathtub and a separate stall shower. Straight stairs lead to the attic, providing storage and there’s more in the basement. Out back, there’s a large barn with a new roof which adds another layer of character to the property, although its condition and usability are unknown. Both the house and barn are listed on the historic register. Alleyway access behind the property also presents the possibility of creating off-street parking with some reconfiguration of the backyard. USPS recognizes the address as 4th Street.
