Nestled on over an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds in one of Scotch Plains' most sought-after neighborhoods, this custom contemporary home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and architectural character. Soaring cathedral ceilings, walls of glass, skylights, and expansive living spaces fill the home with natural light and showcase picturesque wooded views from nearly every room. The flexible floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a spacious living room, formal dining room, family room with fireplace, private library/home office with fireplace, and a walk-out lower level with recreation space, guest bedroom, full bath, and laundry room. The oversized primary suite offers a private balcony, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with jetted tub, stall shower, and bidet. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a heated in-ground pool, multiple decks, screened porch, patios, mature landscaping, and exceptional privacy creating a true backyard retreat. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage, whole house generator, central air, underground sprinklers, and a prime location close to top-rated Scotch Plains-Fanwood schools, parks, shopping, dining, and NYC transportation. An exceptional opportunity to personalize a distinctive home in a premier setting!
