Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Ho-Ho-Kus’ most distinctive historic properties. The landmark Ackerman-Demarest House seamlessly blends the character and craftsmanship of a circa 1760–1834 Dutch Colonial with a comprehensive 21st-century renovation and thoughtfully designed addition. Set on 1.7 professionally landscaped acres, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers over 4,000 sq. ft. of beautifully appointed living space. Original stonework, hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors and period details honor the home’s remarkable past, while modern amenities make it exceptionally livable today. The first floor features gracious living and dining rooms, a private study, and a gourmet kitchen opening to an expansive family room, full bath and convenient mudroom entry. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private bath, dressing room and two walk-in closets, complemented by three additional bedrooms, full bath, laundry and computer room. A finished lower level provides additional living space and abundant storage, while a detached 2+ car garage with loft adds flexibility. Rich in American history, the property was once the site of a colonial tavern and mill and the scene of a documented Revolutionary War attack in 1780. Listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places and recognized for its award-winning restoration, 605 E. Saddle River Road offers the extraordinary combination of history, craftsmanship, privacy and modern living in the heart of Ho-Ho-Kus.
