For railfans, this is an opportunity to choo-choo-choose a perfect home. On the National Register of Historic Places, this fascinating train station-turned-residence is on the market for $450,000 and seeking its third owner.
The sellers, who moved into the Pennington, NJ, depot in 2005 with their two children, are nearing retirement and ready to move on and hand the home over to a new conductor.
The station, which was built in 1882, saw an average of 50 daily trains during the 1910s, and Theodore Roosevelt even made a campaign stop at this very spot in 1922. As public transportation use declined, train service ended in 1967 and, a few years later, the station was converted into a Victorian-style, single-family home.
Listed with Richele Lieboff of Century 21 Veterans, the home measures 3,330 square feet and features four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
The three-story, sandstone structure is fully restored on the interior and exterior. It boasts a mansard roof and center pavilion, creating extraordinary height and width for a private residence.

Updates to the property include a two-car detached garage, a spiral staircase in the living room, and the creation of two separate living units. A buyer could potentially rent one out or use it as an in-law or au pair quarters.
Some of the original details include the 12-foot ceilings, archways and woodwork, as well as hardwood floors.

All of the bedrooms are spacious, which makes the home seem more modern than most homes from the 19th century. One of the bathrooms still features an original claw-foot tub. The home offers built-in storage throughout as well as storage space in the basement and a huge pantry.
For a buyer who’s done riding the rails of look-alike tract homes, we say pull up and make an offer on this lovely home.
