Since 1916, the impeccably restored Craftsman known as White Birches has

been turning the heads of all who travel down its charming Borough street. Home

to 3 proud Pennington mayors, it was named by Mayor Howe, founder of Howe

Nurseries and a beloved philanthropist who planted more than 2,500 shade trees

around town. Meandering stone paths and a deep front porch provide a

storybook welcome and hint at interior details to come, including window seats,

pocket doors, lit built-ins and an array of incredible fireplaces. Countless windows

were painstakingly refurbished and a kitchen/mudroom expansion was carefully

executed to appear seamless. Cozy areas for reading or conversation join large

gathering spaces on the easy-flowing first floor. Handmade tile, a copper hood

and sink, and custom oak cabinetry are the perfect mix for an Arts and

Crafts-influenced kitchen that's always in style. The adjoining family room's

granite fireplace is a commanding presence that draws everyone together. Back

stairs ascend to a window-wrapped office, while the formal staircase leads to 4

bedrooms and a sitting room served by 3 gorgeous full baths. The second floor is

just as rich in detail with cast iron fire inserts, oak cabinetry and French doors.

Even the attic has been turned into usable space loaded with light. Two stone

patios, one fully equipped for all your grilling needs, overlook the double lot's

open lawn. A captivating slice of local history you'll be so proud to call home!
