We would like to thank 
Jane Weber
Sales Associate 
Peyton Associates Realtors

For the pictures and the wonderful description of this property. When we visited this homestead in 2002 Jane Weber was very gracious to allow us to tour the home.
I received an email that the home has been sold as of March 2004.  The new owners have big plans for the house and grounds and expect to start renovations in the spring of 2005. (If any one has recent pictures of this home please contact Sarah Bitter.)

Frederick Blaw Homestead
 in Blawenburg, New Jersey

THE FREDERICK BLAW HOMESTEAD, circa late 1700’s, is a classic example of elegant simplicity - - combining gracious architectural details of a past era with the sought-after comforts of today.  The long circular drive leads to this charming five bedroom, four bath colonial on over eight acres in the beautiful Bedens Brook area of Montgomery Township.  You will be delighted by historic features such as gleaming wide floor boards, original handcrafted moldings and millwork, vintage hardware, leaded glass, Dutch doors, and recent updates including central air conditioning.  

            The front door accented with transom windows, leads to an inviting foyer with dentil molding and chair rail.  A lovely living room with high ceilings, tall windows, handcrafted moldings and millwork, opens to a cozy library with recessed lighting and fireplace.  A back foyer off the library has built-in closets and a Dutch door that opens to a fieldstone walled terrace.  A vintage marble fireplace, chimney cupboards, high ceilings and crown molding enhance the dining room.  Access from the dining room to a butler’s pantry, cozy den and old-fashioned screened porch make entertaining a breeze.

The dinning room!

The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances and features a cozy sitting area with fireplace, French doors to a field stone terrace, pine floors, hand-hewn beams and back stairs to the second floor.

The kitchen! 
Special Note - When you look at this picture of the Kitchen - see the last beam going down that is 
were we believe the original house stopped!  On the right of this picture see the blue wall that is 
were the stairway door is.

The barn is still here!

and you can even go swimming!

From every vantage point, the views are magical…a pasture and corral, an historic multi-purpose barn, a lovely English garden, fruit trees, tranquil landscaped pond and the greens of Cherry Valley Golf course beyond the front porch.  This is the best of gracious, country living, just minutes from downtown Princeton.  Offered at…$1,250,000
