Property Description
If you're moving to New Jersey for top schools, more space, real privacy and room to breathe, this is the kind of property that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Set on approximately five wooded acres in Bernardsville's sought-after Somerset Hills, 250 Hardscrabble Road offers a rare combination of historic character, natural beauty, flexibility and convenient access to New York City. This circa-1840 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a brook, private wooded trails, mature landscaping, storage sheds and an expansive three-season room surrounded by windows. The main residence offers the opportunity to preserve its original charm while creating a sophisticated modern home tailored to today's lifestyle. A separate accessory building with its own kitchen and bathroom adds exceptional versatility for a private home office, guest space, artist studio, wellness room, creative workspace or additional flex space. A new roof, new furnace and new driveway apron add important value. For buyers searching for a Bernardsville home with acreage, a private Somerset County retreat, a charming renovation opportunity, strong schools, privacy and a quieter alternative to denser commuter towns, this property delivers land, character, flexibility and the freedom to create something truly special for years to come.
