If the Cows Could See This Home Now

Hackettstown, NJ, March 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- An historic Port Murray, NJ post & beam bank barn conversion was recently listed for sale through A Home For Sale Realty of Hackettstown, NJ. We are seeking a new owner to appreciate its civil war era history said Richard Rosenblum, the exclusive real estate broker handling the marketing of this one-of-a-kind home.

The Rockport Road bank barn, is believed to be originally built in 1853. It had not been used in decades for farming and about 28 years ago was converted into a 2500 square foot house with five bedrooms, three full baths, two fireplaces and a greenhouse.

Rosenblum explained, that the term bank barn refers to the fact that it was built into the side of a hill which provides for two ground floor levels. Research reveals that this incredibly beautiful barn conversion was built by a local resident of Port Murray. Subsequent and current owners have made remarkable improvements to the house and it’s 1.5 acre property as well. This house tastefully blends times past - with the future. This architectural masterpiece is an exquisite work of art and craftsmanship and commands attention with its stained glass window, massive hand-hewn beams, pine-wood and brick floors, and a majestic grand-stone fireplace. Serenity and tranquility reign throughout the park-like property. Magnificent in every respect, and more modern than many homes, the state-of-the-art comforts include such features as skylights, three car garage, in-ground swimming pool, central air conditioning and a central vacuum system.

The area is rich in history and thrived due to its agriculture, and the industry available thanks to the Morris Canal, and the D.L.&W railroad system which Port Murray is on. A Home For Sale Realty is no stranger to marketing unique and historic properties. Rosenblum confidently states he has marketed property in Morris County with ownership roots back to the Schooley family, and “I've had some real historical and architectural gems of history in Plainfield (Union County), NJ and many throughout Essex County, NJ,” Rosenblum asserted. Rosenblum further stated, “I am thrilled to have listed this home, it is these special houses that make the job of real estate broker most interesting.”

Rosenblum stated "Selling McMansions on Wisteria Lane of course pays the bills but I really love marketing unique homes and pieces of history like this. It's what makes life interesting.” A Home For Sale Realty is a boutique real estate agency that provides high tech-high touch service for its exclusive clients.
