Old NJ real estate that might just smell good?

From the Star Ledger:

Chemist behind Arrid deodorant left behind quirky tribute to life’s work in this N.J. home

In a room with brick floors, off the wood-paneled library inside a stately Tudor home in Princeton, is a stained glass window that pays homage to the home’s original owner.

It illustrates the laboratory process for making Arrid deodorant. The home’s original owner was John Higgins Wallace, Jr. a chemist who developed Arrid deodorant in 1935.

Wallace had the more than 5,800 square foot, five bedroom, four full and three half bathroom home built in 1931. Three owners later, it’s now listed for sale for $3,850,000.

The home was designed by renowned architect Rolf Bauhan, who helped establish the School of Architecture at Princeton University and designed about 300 homes in Princeton and New Hope, Pennsylvania.

It underwent a $2 million restoration about 20 years ago, said Mark Davies of Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, the listing agent.

“They didn’t spoil any of the original details,” he said.

    Lot of wood. Should have developed Pledge.

    Hughes: Pledge an SC Johnson company. One of my old accounts from back in the day.

  3. EX says:

    Dude lived really well. Some would say this is “it”.
    Me? I love the place.

  4. EX says:

    12:58 lemme guess. IT services.

  5. 3b says:

    Ex: No. Fixed Income money management. Back in the day, at GS.

  6. Fast Eddie says:

    3.37 acres, looks delightful. Having space is nice.

  7. grim says:

    Mish-mosh of furniture styles detracts from this place.

    Looks like the bachelor pad Eames and Van de Rohe collection was just too hard to part with.

  8. Fast Eddie says:

    Yeah, the furniture is horrible. Let’s stage it with curb alert stuff posted on Craigslist. Honestly, it’s no different than 90% of the houses I’ve toured in my life. People are horrible when it comes to form and ambience.

  9. Hold my beer says:

    Yeah. Furniture doesn’t go well with the house. So I’m gonna pass.

  10. BRT says:

    But it’s Princeton, you get a short drive to the most overrated restaurant scene in the state.

  11. Libturd says:

    BRT,

    I couldn’t agree more.

  12. Hughesrep says:

    Good golf nearby.

    The Ridge, Bedens Brooke, Jasna, Springdale, Cherry Valley….

  13. Benjamin Lee says:

    I was in New Brunswick last night for dinner at Catherine Lombardi/Stage Left. George St., downtown New Brunswick has really degraded the past couple of years. It’s now a row of multiple dispensaries, smoke shops, and liquor stores.

  14. Benjamin Lee says:

    Lambertville/New Hope/Somerville….all better food nearby.

  15. Boomer Remover says:

    Bucks County is a special place.

  16. Hold my beer says:

    But how many drones a night can you see in the area? Will that be a new selling pitch?

  17. Fast Eddie says:

    Trump, 45 minutes into a press conference, still going, taking many questions. He said the polio vax isn’t going anywhere, no changes on national health changes until everything is scrutinized… says Europe doesn’t use pesticides… says the autism rate of last 25 years is too high, need to assess everything we use. He also said military and white house knows who/what/where on the drones and has no idea why they aren’t telling the us.

    Amazing… press is throwing everything and anything out there and he’s answering everything. It’s truly amazing the difference already from the disaster of the last four years and having a president that will stand there forever and answer question after question. It’s an exciting time, you can sense major changes for the good already happening. All this circus nonsense of the left is gone!

  18. Fast Eddie says:

    Trump said the pictures of the dead on the Ukraine and Russian side is absolutely devastating. He said it’s a carpet of bodies, like those Civil War pictures of the north and south… said it needs to end quick.

  19. Hak Tua, Chief grabs 'em by the pussy says:

    All this circus nonsense of the left is gone!

    Yet he placed a guy who attached a whale head to the family car in charge of health and who is convinced the polio vaccine is bad. I do not make this up or exagerate. Clearly MAGA can do no wrong.

  20. EX says:

    12:22 Don’t worry he’ll give Putin whatever he wants….

  21. Fast Eddie says:

    Clearly MAGA can do no wrong.

    For the most part.

    And the left can do no right… for the most part.

  22. Boomer Remover says:

    He’s so dreamy, isn’t he Eddie?

    In other news, I’m fking off to the Miami of the west until the new year. Looking forward to that mid seventies Phoenix sunshine.

  23. EX says:

    12:56 It’ll be interesting to see how badly Trump screws things up. He’s a serial failure.

  24. EX says:

    1:01 I think Miami has “water” but okay!~

  25. Boomer Remover says:

    The tie in is that they’re both sh!tholes, and much like Denver, the best parts are outside of town.

    That said, it’s easy to throw around headlines, but the water situation in PHX is both nuanced and misunderstood.

  26. EX says:

    My buddy just moved from Essex Co. to Miami. Condo on Brickell. He’s having the time of his life!

  27. Hak Tua, Chief grabs 'em by the pussy says:

    I suppose hanging the ten commandments in each classroom does not stop this kind of thing. Who would have thought? The shooter must have been an immigrant.

    “Libturd says:

    Sofi will go up 75% in one day if earnings are good on the 29th. You may want to look at that one Leftwing.”

    SOFI closed January 25th at 7.65.

    Currently SOFI sits at 16.88 for a measly return of 221% in less than eleven months.

    I hope some of you listened. I really do. Or you could just by Bitcoin like Pumps suggests, risking all of your money on a valueless string of alphanumeric characters designed to hide purchases from government regulation. The choice is simple.

  29. Hughesrep says:

    If they are already have prayers are you still supposed to send them?

    It’s Wisconsin, so maybe just a hot baked dish. Send Tots and pears.

    turns out school shooter is a girl. Feminism is catching up.

  31. Boomer Remover says:

    Geez, leave Donny alone already.
