The Theophilus Phillips Homestead, classified as an Historic Landmark, could be considered the most prominent property in all of charming Lawrenceville. The stately elegance of the Federal stone house and its magnificent grounds is undeniable and, as the village tavern for 50 years first licensed in 1755, it was surely an influential hub of activity where the course of a young nation was debated with fervor. The 7-foot cooking fireplace still graces the Tavern Room, now a warm family room with wet bar. During the 1800’s the residence was grown to its present stature. Other notable period details include paneled doors, intricate leaded fan and sidelights accentuating the front door, colorful Mueller tile in the sunroom, and 5 more fireplaces, two converted to gas for convenient enjoyment. Ceilings rise to 11 feet in the formal rooms and gracious center hall, where floors were meticulously refinished. The home was thoroughly modernized under current ownership. The discreet addition of central air, all new electrical with whole house generator, and a well-placed, enjoyable kitchen are welcome reminders that this is a modern home with all the best amenities and updated systems. Six bedrooms include the grandly scaled double main suite served by a lovely new bathroom featuring hand-crafted marble, clawfoot tub, steam sauna shower, and heated floor. The 2.3-acre property includes a 3-bay garage, breezy veranda, thriving old-growth trees, sunny yards, and rich flowering plants.
