Step into living history at Goat Hill, an exceptional 18th century colonial homestead that harmonizes historic authenticity with 21st century comforts. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the picture-postcard hamlet of Brookside, this rare, three-level antique home's gracious rooms showcase original, hand-hewn beams, old-growth pine and oak wide-plank floors, and six inviting fireplaces. The thoughtful layout features four bedrooms, three and one-half baths, two family rooms, a great room, a game room, and an oversized 2-car garage with a separate drive. Set amidst mature specimen trees, a crushed gravel drive leads to salvaged brick walkways evoking the simplicity of a bygone era. The original portion of the home welcomes you with the delightful walk-in fireplace, featuring a rare beehive oven, an authentic period detail. Adjacent rooms include a cozy den, dining room and powder room, showcasing authentic period details, a corner fireplace, original timbers, 9 over 6-lite windows, and wide paneling. Two bedrooms with built-ins, a sitting room with fireplace, and hall bath complete the second floor of the original dwelling. History integrates seamlessly into the newer wing of the home, providing every convenience for modern living with ample, light-filled spaces and outdoor egress to intimate nooks. The chef-inspired dine-in kitchen with separate breakfast room and walk-in pantry serves as the heart of the addition with close proximity to a family room, mudroom, laundry and a soaring great room with access to the second floor guest suite. Upstairs, the guest suite includes a bedroom, family room, full bathroom with shower stall and third floor bonus room with billiards table. The spacious primary suite, also on the second floor, embodies the historic character and quality craftsmanship of the home and includes a brick fireplace and wide random-width oak flooring. A bright and airy spa-like bath with soaking tub, shower stall and walk-in closet with natural light. Outside, cedar clapboard siding and newer shake roof are complemented by copper gutters and leaders, framing a mature, private landscape that feels like a country oasis. A renovated 20th century outbuilding now serves as an insulated artist's studio (heated, cooled, with running water). A fire pit with gas hookup completes the magical outdoor experience. Located in the award-winning Mendham Township school district and set in scenic Brookside, Goat Hill is the epitome of refined historic living. Convenient to local shops, restaurants, highways and Midtown Direct train service in nearby Morristown.
