Welcome to Alden Manor. Upon the passing of Clement B. Newbold, his 350+ acre estate (Crosswicks) was sold for development. The architects (Wallace & Warner) were hired to design a series of classic country homes. This English Tudor constructed in 1933 retains so many of its original architectural elements. The original half-timbering & stucco is in exceptional condition, neatly detailed above the stone base. The slate roof retains the period appearance of its initial design. Many of the original leaded glass windows remain with unique stained & painted glass inserts. A covered entry provides protection from the elements at the front and a 2nd covered porch off the library provides space for outdoor entertaining in any weather. Enter the foyer and the original wide-plank pegged Walnut floors just shine! A grand staircase with wrought iron railings ascends to the 2nd floor. The spacious 19’ vaulted living room has beautiful cross beams, a large bay window with bench seating, a fireplace anchoring the front wall & French doors. Turn around to discover a delightful Juliet balcony upstairs. The large dining room faces the front yard and the courtyard garden with panel molding & a china closet. At the end of the foyer is the paneled library with a 2nd wood burning fireplace, the powder room and access to the covered patio. The eat-in kitchen is at the rear of the home that provides for direct access to the driveway as well as stairs to the 2nd floor and basement. There is an abundance of cabinetry and an island along with closets along the rear wall for coats and pantry items. As one ascends to the 2nd floor, there are multiple guest rooms anchored off the hallway. The primary suite spans the entire front of the house. There are two distinct rooms that are connected, each with their own en-suite bathrooms. One could combine these spaces to provide for a larger bathroom and/or a larger walk-in closet while still providing for two bathrooms for the owner’s suite. The lovely Juliet balcony is off the 2nd floor hall and there is a storage closet hidden next to the balcony. The next bedroom on this floor overlooks the side & rear yards and it shares a Jack & Jill bathroom with the next bedroom. This room is currently configured with walls of built-in bookcases and base cabinets in addition to the closet. From this bedroom, one has access to the rear staircase and to the final bedroom that is housed over the garage. That bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. From the main hallway, there is a staircase to access the remaining living space on the 3rd floor. There are two more large bedrooms tucked up into the roof eaves, a full bathroom and a large storage area that houses one of the A/C systems. Down into the basement, there is a finished area under the living room with another fireplace that could make a great games room, gym or wine cellar. Under the dining room, foyer and library is the unfinished portion of the basement that houses the systems and provides an abundance of storage. Under the kitchen is the laundry room that is accessed from the rear staircase and there is a Bilco door that allows for the easy movement of furniture and other items. There is a large driveway that is accessed off of Kingsley Road, providing ample parking for at least 4 cars while the 2-car garage & side driveway provide additional parking options. There is so much more than meets the eye from the front of the home. With nearly 2 acres of private grounds, the majority of the land is behind the home. Off the side porch is a large patio that has the most unique custom granite picnic table & benches that can accommodate dinner parties of at least 16 people! The patio overlooks the inground pool. Behind flowering trees and shrubs is the tennis court! Still need more space, there is ample ground behind the driveway to add a sport court or simply a place to play catch or kick a soccer ball. Come explore Alden Manor, and maybe you can become its next steward!
