The complete transformation of a gated all-brick manor atop the Bernardsville Mountain has resulted in a chic, designer residence overlooking five-plus manicured acres. An extensive array of interior, exterior and Smart Home system upgrades installed over the past two years bring a fresh, modern aesthetic to this epic home. Towering windows and arched glass doors fill the open floor plan with natural light, lending a warm, inviting tone to oversized rooms. The grand layout includes five en suite bedrooms as well as two powder rooms and an attached three-car garage featuring a Tesla charging station. Highlights of the graceful custom-painted layout include fine architectural details, intricate millwork, six ornately-mantled fireplaces, custom Tischler windows, over $25,000 in lighting upgrades, soaring ceiling heights, arched doorways, renovated baths and flooring of gleaming hardwood, stone and tile. Outside, park-like surroundings are enhanced by two bluestone terraces, a circular drive, paver stone parking courtyard, professional landscaping and an elevated mountaintop setting on level acreage. Hinting at the extravagance inside is a two-story grand entrance foyer designed with an elegant butterfly staircase featuring custom cast iron spindles, marble floors and a glittering crystal chandelier. Expansive gathering areas span from this glamorous introductory space, including fireside living and dining rooms, both trimmed in classic millwork. The dining room is illuminated by a high-end crystal chandelier, while two-story custom silk curtains enhance the living room windows. From the living room there is access to a sun-splashed conservatory and cherry paneled study/billiards room. An aptly-named great room is generously proportioned for entertaining; it contains two-story ceilings, a fireplace flanked by arched windows, a well-appointed wet bar and glass doors to one of two bluestone terraces. In the chef's kitchen, recent additions such as new granite countertops edged by a new backsplash, an extra-large refinished center island, new sink and new hardware are joined by custom white cabinetry, upper-end stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast area anchored by a recently refinished fireplace. Nearby, the stylishly updated butler's pantry creates a delightful area for coffee or cocktails. The main level also includes a guest bedroom suite, laundry room and renovated powder room accented by a stacked stone wall. Upstairs, a huge landing overlooking the foyer and great room connects to four en suite bedrooms including the lavish master suite. This enormous owner's retreat contains two walk-in closets fitted with wardrobe organizers, dual master baths offering spa-like details, a fireside master sitting room and a huge bedroom, all situated in its own wing. This refined residence is served by two brand new whole-house generators; new Smart Home app-controlled systems for security, heating and cooling; and new outdoor LED lighting. A long list of updates shows pride of ownership in this stately Bernardsville Mountain manor home.
