Circa 1905 and rooted in the Gilded Age history of the Bernardsville Mountain, this remarkable country residence was once part of industrialist Charles Pfizer's renowned "Yademos estate. Expanded and renovated over the years, the home masterfully blends historic grandeur with the comforts and amenities of modern living. High ceilings, oversized windows, and original architectural character are showcased throughout, filling the interiors with natural light and timeless elegance. Gracious entertaining spaces and comfortable everyday living areas showcase exceptional millwork, hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and designer finishes. The updated gourmet kitchen with heated floors features a large center island, high-end appliances, and opens to light-filled gathering spaces overlooking the property. The luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a sitting area, private balcony, and oversized walk-in closet. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring an expansive deck with awning, in-ground pool, spa, sweeping lawns, original stone walls, and mature trees that create a private and picturesque setting. Whole house generator. Set in one of the Somerset Hills' most prestigious locations, just minutes from town, trains to NYC, and world-class golf and equestrian facilities, this landmark property offers a rare opportunity to own an important piece of Bernardsville history, thoughtfully reimagined for today's lifestyle.
