For Sale By Owner

Location:Schooley's mountain in Long Valley,Washington Township,Morris County N.J.

This ranch is a spacious 10 room home with oak floors and cedar beamed ceilings remodeled in 2004.The home is nestled in the woods surrounded by large parcels of acreage and a large open yard overlooking the mountains in Tewksbury.Located on a quiet country road,the home is one of 16 on the enclave.This road is one of the few left that reflect what this farm town used to be before becoming an afluent community.It is a unique safe hide-a-way,1/4 mile next to the Teetertown nature preserve& river,yet it is truly 10 minutes to major shopping and an hour bus ride to NYC!A few celebrities call this area home,yet you won't find any pretentious people..just really good neighbors.If you want to be near Centenary Equestrian College, and a riding place for the U.S.Equestrian team,it is just a ride through the woods.
The original part of the home, built in 1952, has two large 16x15 bedrooms sharing one large bathroom with double sink and laundry .A large 25x25 living room with 3 sided fireplace framed by two sets of french doors opens to the 20'dining room (which was the kitchen).The addition connecting to the dining room has the 6'island cherry kitchen with walk-up attic,one medium bedroom,one small bedroom,small bathroom,and bakers butlers pantry(now used as a 4 station office),all with cedar wood beam and slat ceilings!Walking through the office,you enter the left wing of the home,which is a giant family room used as a T.V. room,summer party room/kitchenette,spa,utility room ,and small bedroom.This home is perfect for the growing family that needs to find their own space,able to enjoy the diversity of the floorplan.If you entertain,this is the perfect house!It seats 50 very comfortably,and can hold an indoor party of twice that on a rainy day,but trust me,the grounds and outdoors are so beautiful,you couldn't keep them inside!You don't have to be worried about any thru traffic,so feel free to take a walk in the am or after dinner,let the children play outside for hours ,or go for a family bike ride on the semi-paved road.Pick berries in the summer and sleigh on your own property in the winter!Fish down the road or hunt deer,pheasant,turkey on your own property...Cut your own firewood to heat the home,use the pellet stove,or rely on the oil HW/BB to keep you toasty.There are just a handful of days you'll wish you had central air(and its easily installed with the walk up attic if you have to have it)because the large shade trees keep the house comfortable even when it is 90.It truly is an ideal place to live with the amenities,great school system,and new library.This is a year round community that has so many festivals,fairs,carnivals,etc. that you can stay as active as you prefer,or just sit back and listen to the sounds of serenity.
