Plainfield, NJ

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 18^th 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.

Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Sales of existing U.S. homes rose more than forecast in November, to the highest level since February 2007, a sign housing is gaining strength along with the broader economy entering 2010.

Purchases increased 7.4 percent to a 6.54 million annual rate from a revised 6.09 million pace the prior month, the National Association of Realtors said today in Washington. The median sales price declined 4.3 percent from the same month a year earlier, the smallest decrease since November 2007.

Lower interest rates, cheaper homes and a homebuyer tax credit have resuscitated a housing market that contributed to the worst economic slump since the 1930s. A sustained recovery in housing and the economy depends on a resumption of payroll growth after employers cut 7.2 million jobs in the past two years.

"The tax credit had the intended impact of drawing buyers in and lowering inventory," Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the Realtors group, said in a press conference. "An estimated 2 million buyers have taken advantage of the credit."

Stocks extended gains and Treasury securities fell after the report. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.4 percent to 1,118.01 at 10:03 a.m. in New York. The 10-year Treasury note fell, pushing the yield up to 3.75 percent from 3.68 percent late yesterday.

Electricians don't traditionally learn how to manufacture composites and boat builders don't typically climb 200-foot towers while on the job, but for some of the 38 students in a new program to train workers for Maine's burgeoning wind power industry, that's just part of the curriculum.

The program, launched this month by Larkin Enterprises, an electrical contractor and worker placement company in Lincoln, gives the students - the majority of whom are electricians - initial training for jobs in an industry that promises great things, but one many concede is still young and undeveloped. It is one of several training initiatives under way in Maine to develop a wind energy work force, which some fear will outpace available jobs.

But that's not the thinking at Larkin, where Mike Ireland has designed a program that gives electricians three days of introductory composite manufacturing skills at Southern

Maine Community College's Maine Advanced Technology Center in Brunswick. They will then spend five days learning high-altitude tower safety and rope rescue, with the final two days of the training held at First Wind's Stetson Mountain wind farm in Washington County. The training program will "put them higher up on the ladder as far as going out and getting a job," Ireland says. "They're highly specialized in wind energy, so it doesn't limit them to paper mills and that sort of thing."
