Here's your opportunity to reside at Historic "Maple Lawn" a 5000 +/- sqft.Queen Anne Victorian and one of the signature homes of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. Built in the 1890's by the same builders as the Historic Strauss Mansion. The original owner, Harry Montanye, had this home built as his summer cottage. He would travel from East 49th Street New York City each summer with his staff via ferry from NYC to Atlantic Highlands to enjoy all that the Jersey shore had to offer, including the beaches, the boardwalks and the amusement parks. This means of tranportation to & from the City continues to be available today at Atlantic Highlands waterfront harbor.
Historic "Maple Lawn" is full of history, charm and character of a by-gone era. This Grand Victorian Lady proudly stands on a 150x100x120x100 parcel of land accented by a wall of stone. The original cedar shakes were handcut in different shapes to create various patterns on each side of the exterior. A fairytale turret, a 3 seasons gazebo/sun room, double wrap-around porches off 1st & 2nd levels with water views and a detached, heated 2 car garage (originally a horse stable) complete the exterior amenities.
A Marble and Peanut Stone stair case leads to the gated entrance and up to the mahogany front porch.

The gracious living room, with original fireplace mantel and mirror, is encompassed with expansive windows of wavy glass.

The newer gourmet kitchen with Italian tiled flooring is placed at the back of the home and flows into a wonderful breakfast room area.
