The charming Reeves-Iszard-Godfrey 17th century home is situated down a long entrance driveway and nestled in a grove of tall pine trees in Seaville, New Jersey. The original home was built in 1695 and expanded in 1800 and moved to its current location in 1962. The home was lovingly restored by the Albrecht family and is thought to be one of the oldest and most important homes in the county; listed on both the state and national historic registers. Combining the old with the new, the owners took great care to restore the 3 bedrooms, 2 and a half bath main house using materials that match the period of the home. This amazing home is full of character with its huge summer beams, decorative gunstock posts and wide plank wood floors. The first floor features a large eat-in kitchen with brick flooring, a center island with range and range hood. The kitchen adjoins a covered rear porch, plus includes a 1/2 bath, laundry area and utility room. The first floor also boasts a dining room with a huge brick cooking fireplace and a very spacious living room with fireplace. The dining room and living room are situated in the earliest part of the home, believed to be built in 1695. An addition was added to the first & second floors of the home around 1800 and included a den/library/sitting room on the first floor with a winding staircase to the second floor master bedroom. The second floor master bedroom has a full bath with double vanity and tub/shower. The main stairway from the dining room takes you to the second-floor hallway that houses two additional bedrooms and a sitting room that share a second full bathroom with tub/shower. The main house is heated with oil hot water baseboard heat and has central air conditioning. Situated just across the driveway from the house is a newer large 2 story barn/garage with 3 garage bays, storage area & utility room that houses the heating system and well pump for the main house, plus has an expansive 2nd floor workshop. Adding to the charm of the property is a small 18th century one room house with brick fireplace and 2nd floor bedroom. The Albrecht's dismantled the one room house from its original location and reconstructed it on their 6 acre property and utilized this when they operated the property as a Christmas Tree Farm. The cottage or one room house is now surrounded by beautiful mature trees and shrubbery.
