If you love the character of an older home but want the comforts and functionality of modern living, 1945 Far Hills Avenue brings the two together beautifully. This lovely home has a story deeply intertwined with the history of Oakwood. It was constructed as part of the historic Long-Romspert family farm and sits adjacent to the original property, which is now preserved by the Oakwood Historic Society. The home immediately conveys the charm and individuality of an earlier era. Original hardwood floors, woodwork and windows celebrate the home’s century-old history, while extensive renovations have created welcoming, functional spaces throughout. The main level was reimagined with an open layout connecting the kitchen and gathering areas. The kitchen features a central island, heated tile floor, pantry, coffee bar, mini wine refrigerator and upgraded appliances. The 2nd floor boasts 3 bedrooms and updated marble bathrooms, and second-floor laundry in the newly created full bath. A thoughtfully finished third floor that can flex with your lifestyle. Use it as a 4th bedroom, home office, guest space or entertaining area. Structural upgrades, glass enclosure, Ethernet, dedicated heating and cooling, plus a bar and wine refrigerator make it a truly usable extension of the home. Step outside to an approximately 0.7-acre property with a fenced backyard, expansive deck, fire-pit areas and refreshed landscaping, offering plenty of room to entertain, play, relax or simply enjoy the outdoors.
Just as importantly, significant investments have been made in the home's major systems, including electrical improvements, new HVACs, water heater, municipal utility connections and radon mitigation. The result is something increasingly hard to find: the warmth, craftsmanship and personality of an older home without sacrificing the spaces, conveniences and major improvements today's buyers value.
