Freehold Boro · Est. 1869
Restored to honor its architecture and to live effortlessly today.
William H. Vredenburgh built his life in Freehold’s legal world, following the example of his father, Peter Vredenburgh, an Associate Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. His brother, Major Peter Vredenburgh, was widely regarded as a local Civil War hero, and the family remains part of the town’s story to this day. The home reflects that same sense of permanence and care, a residence built with intention and preserved accordingly.
Built to last. Preserved with Intention
The Vredenburgh House was constructed with materials and workmanship that simply cannot be replicated today. Original details remain throughout, visible in the woodwork and plaster, and thoughtful restoration has preserved the home’s character while supporting modern life and honoring its history.
Stewardship
For nearly 30 years, the current owners have approached the Vredenburgh House with restoration focused on preservation, longevity, and comfort. Original features have been carefully maintained, while major investments, including the hand-scraped and repainted exterior, slate roof restoration, and key mechanical improvements, were made to protect the home’s integrity and support modern life. The result is a home that feels ready for its next steward, thoughtfully cared for, comfortable, and worth handing forward.
The Vredenburgh House offers a rare opportunity to own one of Freehold Boro’s most significant residences, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully maintained. With a half-acre setting, walkable proximity to downtown, and a home that supports modern life with ease, this is a property best experienced in person.
Brinckerhoff Avenue is one of Freehold Borough’s most established and recognizable addresses, known for its historic homes and walkable proximity to downtown. The Vredenburgh House sits on land once used as the Monmouth County Fairgrounds, later subdivided by prominent local landowner Henry Brinkerhoff, giving this stretch of the Borough a deep connection to Freehold’s civic history. Today, Brinckerhoff Avenue remains central to Borough tradition, including the Memorial Day Parade start at West Main Street and Brinckerhoff Avenue.
Built circa 1870, the Vredenburgh House reflects a defining moment in American history, when the country was entering a new era and Freehold Boro was growing in civic and cultural importance. Its High Gothic architecture and remarkable original workmanship capture the ambition of the time, while the home itself continues to live beautifully in the present.
Freehold Boro offers real historical significance, a strong sense of place, and a downtown that stays active year round. As the county seat of Monmouth County, it’s home to walkable restaurants, shops, and community events that keep the town connected. Living here means having big city level options close by, with the ease, charm, and familiarity of a true small town.
