Lush green lawns and a charming wraparound front porch create an indelible first impression. This country colonial sits atop well over an acre of gorgeous property while the front porch and a large deck take full advantage of this peaceful setting. Inside, rooms are enhanced by skylights, vaulted ceilings and neutral designer colors, as an easy-flowing floor plan fashion the ideal environment for entertaining. Private retreats are available for everyone in the household as spacious bedrooms and ample full baths occupy the second level. Classic features and contemporary amenities join in a seamless blend, resulting in an elegant home beautifully suited to today’s busy lifestyle.
Centrally located in the heart of desirable Basking Ridge, open spaces and this quiet setting belie the fact that major highways and business centers, recreation, shopping, top-rated schools and even commuter trains into NYC are only minutes from your front door.
From the moment we step inside, the two-story foyer draws our attention as entries to our right and left, respectively, reveal a gracious living room and formal dining room. Wide plank hardwood floors are the hallmark of this remarkable home. Not a typical feature, these gleaming floors add individuality and character as they flow from room to room. Ceilings soar to create a sense of space and drama while sunlight pours in through large windows. Architectural details and a designers palette are on display, setting the tone for a variety of tastes and furnishings.
The living room, light and airy, is ready to accept overstuffed chairs and sofas as visitors relax and enjoy lively conversation. In the dining room, a walk-in bay window invites natures beauty inside while this room is more than capable of managing formal entertaining on the highest level.
Substantial entrances mark the thresholds between adjoining rooms, creating an open easy flow and adding to the sense of space. Clearly the “hub” of this home, the designer kitchen opens to the breakfast area and on to the great room where the gas fireplace serves as the focal point of the room. In the kitchen, the family chef enjoys quality appliances along with ample cabinet storage and work surfaces. The open configuration from the kitchen to the great room and on to the family room, is a prized element for those who love to entertaining while the chef is free to indulge their culinary side while remaining a part of the household activities. As large windows and skylights welcome the sun and lush surroundings, sliding French doors permit indoor space to transition effortlessly into outdoor living. The wraparound deck and front porch are two of the most endearing features of this home allowing us to relax and enjoy these pleasant surroundings from a variety of vantage points.
Laundry, powder room, pantry and attached two-car garage are all centrally located to the kitchen, simplifying everyday chores and offering comfortable living.
A home for all seasons, this gorgeous property offers open, level space punctuated by tall trees adding both shade and privacy. Whether organizing a festive family barbeque, spending a wintry afternoon building a snowman, or planning a vegetable garden, this private oasis is more than ready to serve.
On the second level we find that our highest expectations are realized. The master bedroom is a tranquil retreat where a king-size bed and separate sitting area offer an cherished escape from the daily grind. The master bath awaits with a whirlpool soaking tub furnishing the perfect antidote to aching muscles and tension. As the cares of worries of a hectic day melt away, curl up in front of the gas corner fireplace where a crackling fire is ready at a moment’s notice. Finishing the master suite, twin walk-in closets handle practical issues with more than enough space to accommodate the most extensive wardrobe.
Four additional bedrooms supply comfortable personal space for everyone in the household. The guest or in-law suite includes a full en suite bath and all four bedrooms enjoy plush wall-to-wall carpeting and generous closet storage. The main bath, located in the hall, offers a double sink vanity and enough space to maneuver through hectic morning routines.For those looking for the peace and tranquility of a country setting but require the conveniences of city living, this custom home is your answer.
