Property Description

Steeped in history and rich in architectural character, 54 Rensselaer Road stands as one of Essex Fells most distinctive residences. Built in the 1920s by architect Henry Morse, this remarkable brick English Tudor reflects his characteristic blend of authentic historic artifacts and newer materials, evoking the charm of an Old English manor. Original brickwork, stained and leaded glass, rich mahogany, and carved European paneling showcase exceptional craftsmanship. A centuries-old French chateau door opens to a welcoming foyer and richly detailed library. Beyond, a sunroom features exposed brick and a fireplace. The dramatic great room captivates with soaring ceilings, magnificent carved paneling, and a wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room leads to a kitchen with a Bertazzoni range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Intricate linenfold woodwork, antique limestone mantels, and molded plaster ceilings depicting Scotch thistle, oak leaves, and primrose enrich the interiors. Upstairs, five bedrooms and four full baths offer generous accommodations. Set on approximately one acre, the grounds feature a heated pool and koi pond, while a slate roof and whole-house generator add enduring quality and modern convenience to this singular residence. An extraordinary home where history, craftsmanship, and timeless character come together, inviting you to make its next chapter your own.
