GRACIOUS CLASSIC COLONIAL 

This newly constructed sixteen room Colonial features a classic exterior façade with yellow clapboard siding accented with fieldstone, a hand split cedar shake roof, and copper leaders. The floor plan on the first level encompasses a breathtaking two-story foyer, formal living and dining rooms, a library, office, gourmet kitchen, family room, and guest/au pair suite. Random width red oak hardwood floors, deep crown and baseboard molding, Loewen custom windows and five unique fireplaces are some of the numerous architectural details found throughout the residence.

A stunning dual staircase from the entry foyer leads to a large landing that features front to back views of the surrounding countryside and overlooks the foyer and family room. One wing of the second floor is devoted to a four room master suite with a private bedroom, sun-filled reading room, sitting room, room size closet and a luxuriously appointed bath. The master bathroom features a tumbled marble floor, two custom vanities, soaking tub and an oversized walk-in shower. Completing the second floor are three additional bedrooms suites, a second laundry room with an adjoining room for use as a morning kitchen and a front-to-back game room with generous room dimensions allowing for personalized use of the space. Mesmerizing long views of the distant countryside are captured through a series of double hung windows and French doors throughout this gracious home. Entertaining on a grand scale or with an intimate group is easily envisioned in this magnificent setting.

This residence is privately situated on 5.5 acres along one of Bernardsville’s most prestigious and picturesque country roads. A long driveway leads to a circular path and on to an attached three-car garage. A side entrance to the property is positioned off an adjacent street. Professionally landscaped beds, perennial plantings and bluestone walkways surround the home, along with mature pine trees and level expanses of lawn. A secluded bluestone patio, framed by fieldstone walls and anchored by an outdoor fireplace, provides an idyllic setting for warm weather dining. Two covered porches and two second level decks offer additional venues for enjoying the views and the natural beauty of this property. Bernardsville is celebrated for its bucolic country roads and the legendary Bernardsville mountain estates. An excellent school system, close proximity to a network of highways and train service to New York from downtown Bernardsville add to the appeal of this location.
