About this home
Single Family · Built 1770 · Historic
PRICED FOR A QUICK CASH SALE WITH NO PURCHASE CONTINGENCIES OR SELLER OBLIGATIONS. Just steps from the picturesque Raritan River, this is a vacant historical mansion which unfortunately suffered severe flood damage. Although this home has enormous restoration potential for a single family or possible group home--it will be an expensive and arduous task for the new homeowner. AFTER CLOSING, purchaser will be solely responsible for exterior & interior repairs, raising the home (if desired/required), septic completion, planning, zoning... and must go though Hillsborough Township and/or the historical committee to seek approvals. PRE-CLOSING, Purchaser responsible for CO and well water testing (if required). Once occupied by Governor Peter Vroom in the 19th century--bring your imagination and vision to revitalize this remarkable vintage estate. It can truly be a masterpiece.
