Since 1916, the impeccably restored Craftsman known as White Birches has been turning the heads of all who travel down its charming Borough street. Home to 3 proud Pennington mayors, it was named by Mayor Howe, founder of Howe Nurseries and a beloved philanthropist who planted more than 2,500 shade trees around town. Meandering stone paths and a deep front porch provide a storybook welcome and hint at interior details to come, including window seats, pocket doors, lit built-ins and an array of incredible fireplaces. Countless windows were painstakingly refurbished and a kitchen/mudroom expansion was carefully executed to appear seamless. Cozy areas for reading or conversation join large gathering spaces on the easy-flowing first floor. Handmade tile, a copper hood and sink, and custom oak cabinetry are the perfect mix for an Arts and Crafts-influenced kitchen that's always in style. The adjoining family room's granite fireplace is a commanding presence that draws everyone together. Back stairs ascend to a window-wrapped office, while the formal staircase leads to 4 bedrooms and a sitting room served by 3 gorgeous full baths. The second floor is just as rich in detail with cast iron fire inserts, oak cabinetry and French doors. Even the attic has been turned into usable space loaded with light. Two stone patios, one fully equipped for all your grilling needs, overlook the double lot's open lawn. A captivating slice of local history you'll be so proud to call home!a
