The Plainfield City Classic Center Hall Colonials

The Plainfield city architecture runs the gamut from ranches and cape cods to Victorians and classic colonials. A Plainfield house, regardless of architecture is representative of a high quality housing stock.

Located at the southern end of Union county, Plainfield, New Jersey was originally settled by the Quakers in 1684 and incorporated in 1869. Within the six square miles of Plainfield are numerous 18th century buildings, many of them private residences. The presence of many stately homes helped to give way to the creation of the nickname "The Queen City".

After the Victorian wave, Plainfield houses took on a much different style. The early 1900s saw an influx of classic colonials, side and center hall alike.

The featured home of this article is a classic center hall colonial nestled on a half acre of property. While many homes sit on large lots, half acre lots are not the norm. This is an exceptional Plainfield house boasting beautifully maintained oak flooring throughout. The living room is graced with a wood burning fireplace and the family adjoins the living room on the east side of the home. There is a newly erected solarium adjacent to the dining room and a wonderfully crafted kitchen with all of the modern touches. The second floor houses the sleeping quarters and there are four oversized bedrooms. Additionally, the second floor has a main bath and a new sumptuous master bath. The third floor houses the two remaining bedrooms, rounding out the 2000 square feet of living space. There is also a full basement with an exercise room, laundry room, utility room and powder room.

The grounds of this center hall colonial are meticulously maintained and contain a two car garage, along with an outbuilding.

This Plainfield city gem is offered at only $445,900. Call William Collins at 908-531-4979 for your private tour of this and any other Plainfield house.
