Masterfully built with every conceivable amenity in mind, this three-month old custom center hall Colonial is better than new, with significant upgrades made by its present owners since its completion and the remainder of the 10-year builder warranty still in effect. Boasting a Short Hills neighborhood address with almost 7,000 sq. ft. interior spaces on just over a half acre of beautifully landscaped property, this home is impressive.
A grand two-story reception foyer with mosaic ribbon inlay introduces a dramatic double staircase with a gallery overlooking a soaring two-story great room with a mahogany coffered ceiling. Handsome raised paneled wainscoting, trims, and columns, plus 3/4" select red oak hardwood floors add distinction throughout, enhanced by 10-ft ceilings in its elegant first-floor formal rooms; the living room and banquet dining room. The great room showcases a two-story fireplace with a beautifully designed wood mantle and brickwork to the ceiling, with two levels of windows that allow the light to stream in. The adjacent gourmet kitchen opens to the great room - designed for today's easy living - featuring custom cabinetry with marble and glass backsplash, granite countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances, a large center island and a spacious breakfast area with French doors that open to the patio and private fenced rear yard. A butler's pantry with an undermount fridge connects the kitchen and dining room for ease of service, with a laundry room conveniently located nearby. A back staircase leads to both the second and lower levels. French doors open to a spacious first-floor study/home office, featuring recessed lighting, a custom-built-in unit with drawers, shelving, glass doors, and granite countertops. Offers easy first-floor living for the select guest or live-in in a spacious ensuite bedroom with double closets, crown moldings and trims, and a full bath with custom vanity, oversized shower with ribbon inlay and spa glass enclosure.
The second floor is home to three ultra-spacious bedrooms, each with its well-appointed private bath. The fourth is the huge master bedroom suite accessed by French doors with raised ceilings, lovely rear views, a sitting area, and a walk-in custom-fitted closet fit for a king and queen. The master bath is spa-like, featuring custom-built-in cabinetry, double granite-topped vanity, built-in dressing and make-up area, large jacuzzi tub, oversized shower with spa glass enclosure, and separate commode. A double laundry closet with hook-ups completes this floor.
8-ft high ceilings prevail throughout the walk-out fully finished lower level, with a carpeted recreation area, fireplace with marble and wood surround, lovely wainscoting, and door to the rear yard. A sun-lit bedroom with double closet and large window offers addtional guest accommodations along with a designer bath with oversized shower on this level. There is a mud room area with access to the attached three-car garage and parking court, plus a bonus room that is ideal as a potential wine cellar.
Its mechanical systems are top drawer, with a central vac and security system, four-zone heating and air conditioning, and a built-in natural gas 17 kW generator - an invaluable asset to protect your valuable assets!
Conveniently located close to schools and the Mall at Short Hills, this brand-new custom beauty is one not to be missed!
