96 Weed Avenue
Originally part of the Bucciarelli Dairy Farm, this original stone farmhouse dates back to 1900 when the front half was built. It housed the dairy store and when enough stones were unearthed the second half was added in 1910. Three generations continued to live in the stone home with the relatives living in the neighboring stone farmhouse 2 doors away. The history of the property is also evident in the barn where you can see the original refrigeration machinery and cork-lined room for the storage of milk. Remnants of the chicken coop are now used as a patio.
The property changed hands from the original owners in the mid 70s. Plumbing, electrical, heating were all brought up to current standards while preserving the character of the original dwelling. During this restoration a vaulted family room was added to the back of the home, connected with a gallery. The home is now reminiscent of a European stone farmhouse, pairing old world charm with updated amenities. Original stone walls have been opened, exposed and restored in the dining room and entry hall. Professional appliances adorn the renovated kitchen with breakfast bar. A combination of 8 rooms on the second and third level offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 bonus rooms. The current stewards use the entire second floor as a master suite, comprised of a master bedroom, bath, her closet with laundry, his closet with office and an exercise room. Convenient to all, with easy access to the Merritt Parkway.
