Sitting on ‘Over An Acre’ of private, landscaped property in the Hartshorn Elementary School District, this grand, all brick colonial with 9 bedrooms & 7.1 baths, is perfect for more than one generation to live in comfort & style. Off the beaten path in an enclave of three, low traffic cul-de-sacs, with easy access to highways and the Mall at Short Hills, this one of a kind home has approximately 8,000 square feet on 3 levels of living space. Originally built as an expanded ranch in 1970, this home was massively renovated and expanded into a colonial by the present owner in 2006. The original footprint of the basement was maintained and also enlarged as were the first & second levels. At the same time the entire property was landscaped with impressive specimen trees and flowering perennial bushes and plants all around the perimeter. A 20' X 40' heated pool was added, and is enclosed with an aluminum fence. It also has an electronic pool cover and is a total of 5 feet deep, which precludes diving. Also added in 2006 was a full sprinkler system and an extensive underground drainage system, which keeps the entire property dry even after a heavy rain. Featuring a grand 2-story entry foyer with travertine tile, there is a sweeping staircase and open layout with large public rooms in all directions. The gourmet cook's kitchen is off of the family room, large formal dining room and massive living room. There is also a suite of bedrooms with 2 full baths and an half bath on this level, plus a sun room which is ideal for storing plants during the winter. There are master suites on both the 1st & 2nd levels, the upstairs master bedroom has a sitting area with a fireplace and French doors to a balcony over looking the pool, plus his and her walk-in closets and separate baths, as well as access to an office with walls of custom built-in bookcases and a desk. On the main level is a heated 3 car garage with a bonus billiards or game room, exercise room above & the driveway is extra wide for parking several cars or for playing ball with the inground basketball hoop. Special features include four fireplaces, 2 are gas and 2 are wood burning, plus hardwood floors, some of which have intricate inlaid ribbon detail. This executive residence also boasts a brick built-in barbecue on the terrace off the kitchen and a wonderful yard for parties, playing ball or entertaining. There is also a large section of the property on the side of the house that is dedicated to flowers and vegetables for the gardener in the family. Currently the laundry room is in the basement but there is also a mud room off the kitchen, near the back staircase, that has plumbing for a 2nd laundry room on the first floor.
