THE VREELAND HOUSE

Where History Lives in Leonia

"In a world of mass production and fleeting trends, there exists a rarer opportunity – to become not just a homeowner, but a guardian of living history."

ARCHITECTURAL BRILLIANCE PRESERVED

The Vreeland House represents the pinnacle of Jersey Dutch Colonial architecture with Adam-style detailing, a combination rarely found in such impeccable condition. Walking through its rooms, you'll experience:

• The seamless connection between the original 1786 stone cottage and the grand 1815 expansion
• An authentic gambrel roof and three Dutch doors with detailed surrounds
• Hand-hewn beams are dramatically exposed throughout, supporting this structure for over two centuries
• Magnificent wide-plank pine floors (some exceeding 12 inches in width) polished by generations
• Soaring 12-foot ceilings on the first floor create an unparalleled sense of grandeur
• Seven unique working fireplaces, each with distinct period detailing
• Exquisite custom millwork surrounds every door and window, featuring reeded pilasters and handcrafted moldings
