Executive Summary
A rare opportunity to acquire an established, operating commercial property at the primary gateway to Hightstown Borough, one of Central New Jersey's historically significant corridors.
The Smith House (c. 1770) is not simply a historic landmark, it is a high-visibility, commercially zoned income platform with an established use history that cannot be replicated. Positioned at a primary borough entry point on Stockton Street, this property commands maximum exposure to both vehicle and foot traffic, making it immediately viable for professional office, boutique hospitality, retail, or mixed-income investment.
COMMERCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
• Established commercial use — zoning and operational history already in place
• Gateway corner positioning on Stockton Street at primary borough entry
• 3,800 sqft of fully renovated, move-in ready space across multiple rooms suitable for office suites, client-facing operations, or event use
• Separately metered utilities — dedicated water meter for landscaping minimizes operating costs
• Irreplaceable provenance: the oldest standing structure in Hightstown (est. 1721), delivering unmatched brand identity for any business operating from this address
RESIDENTIAL / LIVE-WORK COMPONENT:
A fully updated residential suite allows an owner-operator to live on-site, or provides an additional rentable unit to offset carrying costs.
RECENT CAPITAL INVESTMENT:
A comprehensive three-year renovation has been completed with premium cedar siding, synthetic low-maintenance trim, full infrastructure upgrades, professional landscaping with dedicated irrigation.
For investors, developers, professional practices, or hospitality operators seeking a landmark commercial position in a supply-constrained market: this is it.
