Looking for a property with some historical interest? How about an estate, listed at $4 million, that hosted George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette? Located in Hunterdon County, New Jersey (north of Trenton), this colonial era home features a 11,500-square-foot mansion known as Lansdown. The mansion was built in 1771 by Col. Charles Stewart, an Irish immigrant who financed the residence with a royal land grant from King George II. Stewart was appointed Commissary General by George Washington in 1776, and he was tasked with managing food and supplies for the Continental Army. Ohhh. I love this stuff.
The home has nine bedrooms, six full bathrooms and one half bathroom. By California standards that set on 47 acres is a steal and the home looks lovely.
I will gladly fly out and take you on a showing with the help of Robert Beatty, of Weichert Realtors, who is the listing agent.
