There are a lot of great old houses on the market lately. This one, a seven-bedroom Victorian sits on a hill on 2.4 acres in Old Short Hills, New Jersey. It has been restored and renovated which in this case means new marble bathrooms with separate showers.The woodwork in this home is gorgeous. It has wood coffered ceilings, wood panels and wainscoting but the large wide windows keep it being too heavy and dark. Crystal chandeliers and ornate marble fireplace surrounds add to the feel of Victorian charm. The home was built circa 1900 but gets a little modern in the lower level which has been recently renovated but still has the original brick archways. The grounds include a tennis court, pool with pool house and a matching stone four-car garage. It is listed at $11.9 million.
