Spectacular Estate on the Bernardsville Mountain Embracing the warmth and spirit of Williamsburg architecture, a custom-built, all-brick estate is nestled on 5.42 acres of privacy in one of the Bernardsville Mountain's most popular neighborhoods. A sun-filled open floor plan of 12 rooms offers five bedrooms, three full and two half baths. Outdoor amenities include a heated pool with integrated spa and cabana, bluestone terraces, a pond for row boating or ice skating, and two storage barns which are perfect for housing a car collection. Highlights of the graceful layout such as oak hardwood floors, traditional moldings, custom built-ins, four fireplaces, two wet bars, recessed lighting and high ceilings are among the exceptional architectural details. Approached by a paved circular drive accented by granite block curbing, a bluestone front walkway leads to the covered entrance door featuring a leaded glass elliptical window and sidelights. Introducing this welcoming home is a two-story foyer designed with a serpentine staircase and herringbone patterned oak flooring. Flanking this entry are formal living and dining rooms. The visually stunning living room contains two bay windows, crown moldings and a fireplace artfully centered between arched built-in display cabinets. In the dining room, fine embellishments include dimensional wainscoting, crown and chair rail moldings, while herringbone-patterned oak floors lend interest underfoot. A handsome cherry paneled library contains a fireplace and wet bar as well as pastoral views of the property. Manicured grounds are framed by three window walls in a sun-splashed conservatory offering a sliding door to the outside. Oversized and filled with natural light, an inviting center island kitchen is designed with white cabinetry, oak floors, paneled appliances and custom tilework. The adjacent breakfast room has an airy skylight, rear staircase to the bedroom level and French doors opening to the bluestone terrace for outdoor meals. Nearby, the beamed ceiling family room's focal point is a raised hearth stone fireplace, while an entertainment-friendly wet bar and full wall of custom built-ins are additional amenities. Completing the first floor are two powder rooms and an extra-large laundry room lined in crisp bead board paneling. Upstairs, a master suite begins in the oversized bedroom, a serene fireside retreat offering two walk-in closets. The master dressing room with sink vanity adjoins a renovated master bath containing a stand-alone soaking tub, clear glass door shower and upgraded vanity. Four additional bedrooms and a computer room share two more full baths on this level. Additional living space has been created in the basement's carpeted recreation room with painted walls and an exercise room. This level also includes a huge storage room and garage. Two barns on the property have wood floors, electric service and offer multiple uses including vehicle storage. Open, level and gently rolling acreage is enhanced by stacked stone walls, mature trees and serene countryside panoramas. Additional amenities include a central vacuum system, deer fencing and an outdoor sprinkler system. This sought-after location on the Bernardsville Mountain is close to downtown Bernardsville for Midtown Direct train service, restaurants, shops, public and private schools as well as world class golf and equestrian facilities.
