The purchase of this home comes with a side of Martha Stewart history.
The businesswoman, lifestyle expert and swimsuit model’s childhood home in Nutley, New Jersey, has hit the market for $600,000.
Made up of four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the modest North Jersey pad is where the longtime television personality lived with her parents and five siblings.
Located at 86 Elm Place, the home screams humble beginnings.
Stewart, 81, spent much of her childhood and teen years in the home — and it’s here where she learned many of the skills, including cooking and homekeeping, that turned her into the figure she eventually became. Today, Stewart has a net worth of $400 million.
Built in 1930, his house hit the market on May 5. It previously sold in 2005 for $385,000 and again in 2011 for $420,000, property records show.
The Colonial-style residence occupies nearly 2,000 square feet.
“As you approach the house, you will be struck by its classic, symmetrical facade, complete with a central door and spaced windows on either side,” the listing notes.
With a total of 10 rooms, the main level features a living room, an adjacent dining room and the open kitchen.
Upstairs are the four bedrooms. The house sits on a manicured lawn surrounded by mature fruit trees, including peach, pear and fig.
The third floor houses a bonus room.
Long before Stewart released her landmark 1982 book, “Entertaining,” she hosted high school friends for gatherings at this home.
Stewart, born Martha Kostyra, moved to 86 Elm from Jersey City in 1944, when she was 3.
Claudio Saavedra with A New Day Realty LLC holds the listing.
Meanwhile, throughout her career, Stewart has lived in several homes — from her famous historic farmhouse, lovingly named Turkey Hill, to her current estate in Bedford, New York, which often appears in her popular Instagram account.
