It’s hot pink on the outside — and historical chic on the inside.
This newly listed Dennisville, New Jersey home packs quite a visual punch. The 1,900-square-foot residence — asking $499,000 — is impossible to miss with its vibrant pink exteriors and statement teal doors. Inside, however, the three-bed, 2.5-bath residence lovingly reflects more than 200 years of history.
Built in 1810, the home stayed in the original owner’s family for almost 140 years before changing hands in the late 1940s, NJ.com reported.

It’s “Barbie” on the outside, but “Little Women” on the inside. Timothy Fleming PhotographyIt’s listed by Ryan Manney of Compass, who told the outlet that the state police loves the house as a landmark, because “it’s a good point of reference for them” when it comes to offering local directions.
“702 Petersburg Rd. offers historic charm and craftsmanship in an idyllic waterfront location and has tremendous upside for a primary home user or investor,” Manney told The Post in a separate statement. “It is rare for a home with such a rich history to change hands and become available for sale.”
The interiors look like a scene out of “Little Women,” with wide-plank hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and rustic details aplenty. But the current owners have updated it all with a new roof, a septic system, and central air and heat.
The 11-room dwelling, nicknamed Holmestead, was originally built for a local merchant,according to NJ.com, who ran a general store and served in the New Jersey state Assembly, and later on the county board of commissioners.

The kitchen lacks a stove, but makes up for it with rustic charm. Timothy Fleming PhotographyThe current owners use it as a second home. They utilize a second, smaller building on the property as a gift shop.
Besides a rich history, the pink property boasts a rosy view of nature. The back of the home backs up to a scenic 29-acre lake.

The home sits in Cape May County, in the southernmost corner of New Jersey. The county’s 30 miles of white sand beaches are a mainstay destination of the Jersey Shore and attract hoards of vacationers through the summer months.
The pink house is only 15 to 20 minutes away from the nearest local beaches, including Stone Harbor, Avalon and Sea Isle City.
Vintage-lovers and fixer-uppers in search of a seaside retreat can rejoice. But at-home chefs beware — the pink house lacks a full kitchen or a stove.
The Post previously reported on New Yorkers’ love for their precious pink buildings, like the rosy facade of 114 Waverly Place, or the quirky, bubble gum pink Palazzo Chupi atop a West Village factory.
