This 3.76-acre property is beautifully situated on one side of a private cul-de-sac in the heart of Harding Township. A long-paved driveway circles past the residence and leads to a wide parking court in front of the attached three-car garage. Professionally landscaped beds, bluestone walkways and established perennials intermittently accent the property. The lawns that surround the residence are open and lush, supported by an underground irrigation system. The land provides unparalleled privacy and abundant room for recreational pursuits. An expansive bluestone patio adjoins the foyer, breakfast room and family room, creating an indoor to outdoor flow that is ideal for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors. The patio is wide and expansive, and overlooks a section of the back lawn that is framed with a curved fieldstone wall. Mature evergreen trees frame the property and provide natural privacy from the surrounding estates. The 8,346 square foot custom Colonial home was built in 2005 by John McFadyen, as one of only three homes in this private enclave. This inviting residence features a clapboard façade, a wood shingle roof, four levels of finished space, intricate millwork, four distinctive fireplaces, custom windows and designer fixtures. The expansive floor plan begins with a covered porch entry that opens to a gorgeous front-to-back foyer that showcases the quality of construction and timeless architectural details found throughout the home. The first floor unfolds to encompass a sunken living room, paneled library, formal dining room, butler's pantry, gourmet kitchen with breakfast area, family room, two powder rooms, and a massive mudroom. The second floor can be reached from a sweeping staircase in the foyer or a back staircase near the kitchen. On the second floor, the primary suite offers a generous bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace, dressing area, office, and a stunning new bathroom. There are three additional en suite bedrooms on the second floor, the laundry room, and a walk-in linen closet. A turned staircase leads to a finished third floor with the fifth bedroom, a full bathroom, and a craft alcove on one end of a wide hallway. Two sets of stairs, one in the foyer and one in the mudroom behind the kitchen, lead to the finished lower level. An exercise room, recreation room, wine room, and a second mudroom provide several venues for indoor recreation, remote learning or additional options for working from home. Access to the attached three-car garage and to the side lawn is provided from the lower level. Located in one of Morris County's most esteemed communities, Harding Township is a bucolic residential enclave that is celebrated for its rural ambience and convenient location. Close proximity to a network of highways and train service to New York from the neighboring stations in Morristown, Madison and Convent Station add to the appeal of this location. Newark Liberty International Airport is approximately thirty minutes by car. Shops, restaurants and cultural events are found in nearby Morristown and Madison.
