Property Description

A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY to own the Tallman-Vanderbeck House, a remarkable piece of Bergen County history! Dating to the early 1700's, it is listed on the Historic Registry. Once home to the Lone Star Tavern in the mid-1800's, this historic treasure has been thoughtfully reconstructed to recapture its original tavern heritage, character and charm. Rich in architectural authenticity, the interior showcases original stonework, wide plank floors exposed wood beams, two wood-burning fireplaces with original mantels and exceptional period details throughout. A covered side porch welcomes you into the reception area which leads to the spacious main rooms of the house, all of which feature exposed stone walls and wood beams in each room. A newer addition, offers potential to install a new kitchen and has two new powder rooms. This newer wing is complemented by a new basement with dumbwaiter service to the first floor kitchen. The second floor is accessed by two staircases, one in the main dining room, the second next to the reception area. The second floor consists of four unique rooms to use as needed along with a new unfinished space awaiting your vision and creativity. Surrounded by a spectacular flat acre and walking distance to town center on sidewalk lined streets, this distinctive property presents an opportunity to preserve and reimagine a treasured piece of history; subject to zoning, required approvals and any applicable historic preservation requirements.
