LIVE A PART OF HISTORY! Oak Cottage, the most prestigious site on the mountain, reigns once again as 'The Gem of the Mountain'. This home is a LIKE BRAND NEW Historic Second Empire 'General Grant' style Victorian - which underwent a nearly 4 year restoration. This structure has been lovingly restored from the top of the Mansard roof to the floor of the walk-out basement. This stunning home now includes ALL NEW heating, ALL NEW plumbing, brand NEW 6 bedroom septic system, NEW well, ALL NEW electric, NEW fixtures, NEW appliances, NEW carpeting, NEW kitchen, plus 4 NEW baths (2 full + 2 half.)

And the only thing better than what is *new* at Oak Cottage - is what is historic!~ Absolutely NO preservation effort has been spared. Every element possible has been authentically restored. The cedar siding and stone foundation survived time in overall excellent condition. The plaster walls, woodwork, and trim (including the extensive first floor picture framing details) have been preserved and restored. The original windows were rebuilt by hand -and the broken glass replaced with vintage glass rather than replica. The process has been extremely labor intense - but the result is priceless.

This rich in history home includes: 13 rooms (6 bedrooms) PLUS 4 baths (2 full and 2 half), an unfinished basement, 2 covered porches, and the 1400 square foot mill/carriage house.

The first floor consists of a formal parlor, a formal dining room, a large kitchen, a great room, an informal parlor (or first floor office), a powder room, and a 9' x 16' mixed use room (which has a separate entrance, a breath taking view of the mill and the pond, as well as plumbing and electric to accommodate laundry facilities) PLUS 2 covered porches.

On the second floor you'll find all 6 bedrooms and 2 full baths.

The 3rd floor had once been divided into 3 additional small bedrooms. This space has been opened into one large room and a half bath (perfect for use as a home office.)

Oak Cottage also has a walk-out unfinished basement.

In addition to the house, the property offers a 2 story 'Apple Cider Distillery' / Carriage House. This 'mill' (once powered by a water wheel) consists of approximately 1,400 square feet ~ PLUS a large storage attic.

OAK COTTAGE has had the honor of being featured in articles published in: the national editiion of "PRESERVATION Magazine" * The Daily Record * The Star Ledger * the Observer Tribune * the NY Times!
