Historic Home Named Tabula Rasa in New Jersey
HISTORIC TABULA RASA
A Historic home named Tabula Rasa in Moorestown New Jersey that town folks call “the stateliest, most exquisite and most well constructed” home. Looking at this house today, I can’t believe it was saved from demolition. Not only that it was moved, renovated and enlarged and is on the National Register of Historic Homes. The owners have great love for their home, but now it is for sale.
The house is also called “Clean Slate,” in keeping with the past and looking towards the clean slate every new day brings.
It might take us all day to get through all the rooms in Tabula Rasa that is a Farmhouse style mansion if we were able to do a walk-through.
Tabula Rasa has three stories.
Bedrooms: Seven
Bathrooms: Four full, four half baths and three main floor half.
Fireplace: One
Whoosh.. it’s like a hotel and then some folks. Tabula Rasa is reported to have a two-story ballroom. This must be where they clear the decks and have an elegant ball.
This must be the back stairway. I would be happy just living in this area.
TABULA RASA HAS TWO DINING ROOMS

TWO KITCHENS!!
FIREPLACE
ONE OF THE SEVEN BEDROOMS
But the most interesting part of Tabula Rasa is she has
a two lane Bowling Alley!
Virtual golf driving range!
Billiards room and a card room, two full basement bars, two laundry rooms, home theater, playhouse, and home gym/office space above the garage, and more. The hired help must be quite busy keeping the mansion in order.
See more rooms and details on Estately, but I challenge you to guess the asking price.

Wow! maintaining that house in good shape would be much more expensive than my small house right now. Such a wealthy people.
If I struck it rich I’d love to have a bowling alley, billiards and a bar in the basement.
Oh Sue thanks so much for the look inside. Talk about a wow I want to bowl at home. lol And I just knew it would have billiards after that and yep its there I’m sold. lol
All is well now and thanks for being such a wonderful online friend Doreen.
I looked at the listing, and was surprised to see the asking price. I thought it would be more.
It’s a lovely home, but I wish the facade was more consistent. A little too much going on for my taste, but beautiful nonetheless.
I stopped by to see how you were doing Sue and wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Haven’t seen a post from you lately, hope all is ok.

I was thinking that my readers in the New Jersey area would know about this house or the area like you do Carolann. Interesting that you would have “never thought.” Have a great weekend.
I think kitchen 2 is in the basement area Heather and the other kitchen seems very much in keeping with the original house.
Lots of hired help to keep it clean that is for sure. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Ben, If I can find how the original house looked, I’ll let you know. Have a great weekend.
I think everyone’s reaction when they see this house is oh my gosh or wow. It’s truly outstanding with every room decorated beautifully. Love the kitchen! I know where Morristown is in NJ and I would have never thought!
WOW! That is a lot of house! Absolutely beautiful. I like kitchen #1 over kitchen #2 .. more “homey”. Another great find Sue, thank you!
Oh, my gosh!
That’s not a house, it’s a resort.
I cannot imagine keeping it clean. It would be pretty cool to have a bowling alley!
Oh. My. Goodness! Exquisite! Beautiful home though I’m wondering how it got on the National Register with some many changes and additions that the original home is no longer apparent. That aside, though, it’s magnificent.
