If you appreciate architecture, specifically Victorian architecture, then you’ll absolutely love the Jacob C. Allen House in Hackettstown, New Jersey.

On the National Register of Historic Places, this Victorian home — which was built in approximately 1850 — is quaint and welcoming. Though it doesn’t look like a mansion, it’s awfully spacious with 15 rooms — eight of which are bedrooms — and a basement.

According to OldHouses.com, the Victorian home features “classic Second Empire exterior features — steep mansard roof, [a] central tower, fish-scale shingling, iron cresting, [and] large bay windows with leaded stained glass.”

The backyard has been modernized with an in-ground pool, but the gazebo, log cabin, and garden give it a sense of elegance and old-world charm.

A “butler’s pantry” and “servant’s staircase” are listed under house features, so the rich and famous would likely feel quite comfortable in this Garden State abode.

The asking price on OldHouses.com, though, was a surprisingly low — relatively speaking, of course — $569,900.
