The Historic Italianate Schoolhouse: A Masterpiece of Art, Architecture, and Living History. Step inside Lambertville's First Ward School, built in 1878 and transformed into a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath, 5,500 square foot sanctuary where history, art, and modern luxury converge. Originally the city's first public school, this historic Italianate structure has been meticulously restored and reimagined over four years by New York art collectors, blending the craftsmanship of the past with today's highest standards of comfort and latest technology. Every detail tells a story: the sweeping three-story staircase and custom cabinetry crafted by renowned wood worker Paul Evans remain fully restored, while all-new electronically controlled mechanical systems, Lutron lighting, and a new roof ensure the home functions as beautifully as it looks. The interior is flooded with natural light through oversized, new energy-efficient windows, with 12-foot ceilings throughout. Enter the grand foyer to find a massive living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar with antique mirror, a gallery for art, and a library that doubles as a formal dining room -- perfect for entertaining on any scale. The wood-paneled sunroom opens onto a private, illuminated walled garden, designed by Buck Walter and featuring reclaimed Baltimore slate and granite, with distinct zones for dining, seating, a secluded secret garden and off street parking for six cars in addition to an attached garage. The gourmet chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, a large island, and custom commercial stainless hood. The third floor houses the primary suite -- a south-facing retreat with sitting area, dressing room, and luxurious en-suite bath adorned with imported Fornasetti wallpaper and antique fixtures. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor. The fourth-floor is private suite which provides flexibility and comfort. The attic offers expansive storage, including a climate-controlled gym. The home combines historic elegance, modern systems, and unparalleled character -- a rare opportunity to own a living work of art in the heart of Lambertville. Home is also available fully furnished.
