1876 Flour Mill Converted to a Modern Dwelling Is This Week’s Most Popular Home


1876 Flour Mill Converted to a Modern Dwelling Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

A flour mill magically transformed into a modern, rustic-chic sanctuary is the week’s most popular home on realtor.com®.

Built in 1876 and perched on the banks of the Raritan River, the Neshanic Mill is a local landmark in Hillsborough Township, NJ. It even graces the “Welcome to Hillsborough” sign at the edge of town.

If the popularity of the listing is any indication, there are plenty of buyers interested in scrounging up enough grist to make an offer.

The old mill bested pretty stiff competition this week. “Real Housewives of New York” fan favorite Ramona Singer dropped the price on her NYC pad and seems to have found a buyer. Another “Real Housewife”—this one from Potomac, NJ—is attached to a popular home reportedly being sold by her estranged husband.

Besides these notable names, this week’s list includes several gawkworthy properties including a luxe waterfront San Diego beach house and a time capsule midcentury bed-and-breakfast in Texas—with all the furnishings included.

But despite fame, flash, and notoriety, it’s the little flour mill from the 1870s that ground the competition into dust. Have a look at all this week’s most popular properties by scrolling on down…

1. 1127 River Rd, Hillsborough Township, NJ 

Price: $649,900

Why it’s here: It’s a former flour mill! The Neshanic Mill has been converted into a one-of-a-kind, elegant riverfront family home.  Inside, 7,200 square feet of space has been modernized into open and light living space, while retaining many of the mill’s historical artifacts, like a pulley and a grain elevator.

Designed for grinding grain into flour, the structure sat empty for decades, according to the listing agent, Vincent Costa. The current owners gave the home a face-lift in the 1990s, and raised a family in the historic space. With a keen eye on preserving its past, they kept many of the artifacts left over from the original mill, like pulleys and a grain elevator, while also outfitting the home with chic finishings and modern conveniences. Now they’re ready to pass it onto someone else.
