PROS Built in 1900, this stately Dutch Colonial is in near-perfect condition. The kitchen is completely modern, with granite countertops, loads of cabinets, and room for a breakfast table in the center. The living, dining, and family rooms -- all enormous -- give way to a full-length porch and views of the Bass Rocks Golf Club just beyond the tidily landscaped yard. There's plenty of space for an au pair apartment above the six-car garage, and the walk-up attic could make a fabulous master suite. CONS Some of the original bathroom fixtures could use reglazing.
