Privacy and convenience enhance the scenic two-acre setting of this luxury property close to historic downtown Chester and bordered by the 160-acre MacGregor Preserve. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, the custom-built home features nearly 4,900 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, four full and two half baths. A wraparound back porch presents an outdoor kitchen for warm weather entertaining, while the upper patio's hot tub takes in sublime views of preserved woodlands. Tree-lined Chilton Road leads to this impressive residence in a neighborhood of other premier homes. A charming wraparound front porch and arched double doors introduce the foyer with gleaming hardwood floors and a graceful turned staircase. Among the main gathering spaces are a fireside library lined in bookshelves, a great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace edged in custom cabinetry, and a huge formal dining room with dual chandeliers, chair rail moldings and a picture window. The gourmet kitchen contains a four-seat breakfast bar, storage pantry and granite-topped center island with a six-burner gas cooktop, pot rack and prep space. Stainless steel appliances include two GE Profile Series wall ovens, dishwasher, and microwave, as well as a KitchenAid built-in refrigerator. The kitchen's dining area is designed with vaulted ceilings, airy fans and access to the rear and side-covered porches. Completing this part of the home is a well-appointed laundry room, half bath and entry to the oversized three-car garage. A lavish first-floor primary suite is detailed with soaring ten-foot ceilings, two walk-in closets, a gas fireplace and access to the covered rear porch. Spa-like details in the primary bath include vaulted ceilings, Travertine tile work, a roomy walk-in shower, clawfoot soaking tub, two sink vanities, a private water closet and a built-in bookcase. Upstairs, a study nook is a quiet spot for homework or reading. Three bedrooms are fitted with carpeting and walk-in closets; two bedrooms share a connecting full bath, while the third has its own private full bath and an adjacent game room behind a sliding barn door. The walkout lower level is arranged with an expansive family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and wet bar/kitchenette. The game room offers double doors to the ground-level patio overlooking the property's wooded perimeter. This level also contains a convenient guest bedroom, full bath and ample storage options. There is plenty of space for the next owners to create a future gym or other bonus area. This Chester Township luxury home can be accessed from Route 206 for quick proximity to schools, shopping, restaurants, recreation and major highways. Local farm stands, pick-your-own orchards, and thousands of acres of parkland including a nature preserve and an arboretum give Chester a rural feel, yet it offers a commutable Morris County location with Midtown Direct trains in neighboring Peapack or Gladstone.
