Set high above the Navesink River on a bluff with a rare gentle slope to the river, this exceptional 1894 Queen Anne Victorian combines remarkable architectural character with the amenities of a thoroughly updated waterfront home. Sweeping 180deg river views unfold from nearly every level. A private dock with illuminated boardwalk, boat lift & 2 jet-ski lifts extends to the water, complemented by a heated saltwater pool, hot tub & beautifully landscaped grounds. Inside, 100+ windows fill the home with natural light, including exquisite period stained glass. The 10' ceilings & gracious scale of the 1st floor create an ideal setting for entertaining, with elegant rooms connected by pocket doors, a grand entry hall & a chef's kitchen featuring a LaCanche range & Sub-Zero refrigerator. The 2nd-floor primary suite offers a private porch, dressing room & period-inspired bath with Carrera marble. The 3rd floor includes a recreation room & additional bedrooms, with generous closet space throughout. Significant improvements include new 5-zone HVAC & humidity control, updated electrical & septic systems, a new 230' water line, rebuilt chimneys, whole-house generator, extensive security & technology systems, electric car charger & a rebuilt wraparound porch & porte-cochere. Prior approvals were obtained for converting the carriage house to an accessory dwelling & adding a 2-car attached garage.
