Reply #11: carriage house [View All]

[NJCher]

I live in an old carriage house (1875) on an estate built back into a mountain. There isn't even any street traffic here because the private road deadends at my house. Two wings were added to the carriage house 50 years ago, making it a 5-BR, 4-bath house.

There is a big mansion on the property that is undergoing renovation. Essentially the estate is split into two properties--the mansion and the carriage house.

The property was built on by a financier after whom they later named a brokerage firm. He married three times and while he had his own wealth, he married into some of America's most well-established industrialist families. You would know the name--there is a line from their commercial from 10 years ago that people still repeat to this day. Also, this was only one of their many properties.

Yes, there are ghosts at the mansion and I have seen them.
