Nestled among fabulous homes, Eaton House (former home of U.S. Congressman Charles A. Eaton) is a sprawling low-key antique gem offering 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 5 woodburning fireplaces, formal living room, formal dining room, media room, den, study, library, etc. The home is centrally air-conditioned to keep you cool and comfortable during the summer.
A tranquil escape set on 2 acres of lush greenery, Eaton House is a short distance from the Summit Grand Hotel in NJ and JUST 27 MILES AWAY FROM MANHATTAN. It is the ideal getaway to celebrate that special occasion, family reunion or serve as a base from which to explore New York City, while still enjoying the warmth, comfort and relaxation that only a large country home in lovely Somerset county--the most charming and affluent county in New Jersey--can provide.
The 100 year-old Eaton House takes you back in time with its authentic rooms, large woodburning fireplaces, beamed ceilings, original woodwork, oak floors and gorgeous wood panelling. While the antique furnishings complement the originality of the home, modern conveniences have not been forgotten, such as central air-conditioning; massive gourmet kitchen with commercial Wolf range, granite countertops, center island and large pantry; media room with 50" Plasma HDTV + premium cable; office with high speed internet & wireless access, computer with large flat screen monitor, printer and fax for a working vacation; den with 42" wall mounted HDTV, etc.
