The 19th Century Morristown home envisioned by Alfred Lewis Vail is now listed for $1.95 million.

The Morristown home was initially listed in June 2022 for $2.689 million. It was reduced to $2.39 million in August 2022, then taken off the market.

The median sales price of a home in Morristown is $680,000, according to the most recent data available from New Jersey Realtors. That’s an increase of nearly 35% from a year ago. It was completed in 1870 and Amanda Vail lived in it with Vail’s three sons from his first marriage, Stephen, James and George, Amanda’s sister, Julia Eno, and a servant.

Describing her initial impressions to a representative of the Morris County Historical Society, she admitted, “The house was a mess . . . a lot of what real estate agents call ‘deferred maintenance’ and bad 1980s design choices when we bought it.”
