51 Crab Apple Hill Rd, Milford, NJ 08848-1804

There's something undeniably romantic about this late-1700s cottage, set amid 6.4 acres of rolling countryside in bucolic Holland Township. With scenic views and plenty of land to explore, the property offers a beautiful connection to nature. An old barn and the stone remains of other structures provide a glimpse into the past. The three-bedroom, two-bath cottage holds reminders of its early origins too, including a walk-in kitchen fireplace now fitted with a wood-burning stove. A corn-burning stove adds warmth to the living room, while a newer furnace is a practical improvement. A full bathroom and laundry are on the first floor and upstairs are the bedrooms and another full bath. Built-ins and wide board floors, beamed ceilings, and both a deck and a long covered porch add to the appeal. The house is livable as it stands, with opportunities for updating over time. It is also value-priced, which should ensure those improvements pay off. Beyond the cottage, the acreage is a highlight in its own right. The gently rolling landscape invites exploration, with picturesque scenery that changes with the seasons. The charming riverside town of Milford is just 3.5 miles away, with inviting restaurants and shops. Frenchtown is only seven miles away, and nearby I-78 provides access to destinations east and west. For anyone drawn to the character of an antique home and the prospect of making it their own, this is one should be on the list.
