NJ farmhouse dating to 1724 for sale for first time in 70 years
A Dutch stone farmhouse that once stood on a 300-acre Bergen County property is on the market for the first time in 70 years. Known as the Daniel Demarest House, the historic home at 404 Washington Ave. in Dumont dates to 1724, when the property was part of a farm belonging to the descendants of one of the region's earliest French Huguenot settlers. A stone embedded in the rear wall bears the names of Daniel and Rebecca Demarest and the year of its construction. Listed on Oct. 22 for $799,000 by Maureen McSpirit of McSpirit & Beckett Real Estate, the six-bedroom home is among Bergen County's surviving early Dutch Colonial stone houses.

Much of its first floor remains intact. "The parents bought the house because they loved farmhouses and the architecture of the house," McSpirit said. David des Marest, the grandfather of the home's namesake, was born around 1620 in Picardy, France. His family fled religious persecution, settling first in the Netherlands, where he married Marie Sohier in 1643, and later in Mannheim, Germany,
