Take your place in Short Hills History! Designed by renowned NYC architects Lamb and Rich, and built around 1880, this Queen Anne Victorian was built for Mr. Stewart Hartshorn, inventor of the spring roller mechanism in the window shade. Mr. Hartshorn planned his 'ideal community of Short Hills and many homes in town are named for him. He also constructed a home for his niece that is just a short distance away, and that is called the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum, wonderful nature preserve on many acres that is visited by hundreds of people each year. This particular home holds a unique place in Short Hills history as a cornerstone of a prominent place in town. Just 2 short blocks from the Short Hills train station, this handsome home has wonderful features like high ceilings, tall, custom windows with transoms above, framed by bull nose moldings and pocket doors. A grand stained glass window that rests at the bottom of the staircase and brings in light from the front porch with huge arched windows illuminates the entry foyer. With 2 zones of central air, a family room addition off of the kitchen and a bright and easily finished basement, this one of kind, 6 bedroom home awaits your visit.
