Description

This Stately Manor has graced one of the lush ridges of the Watchung Mountains for over a century. Ensconced within a private 1.5-acre estate of mature gardens, the exterior of this home evokes a sense of heritage, elegance and enduring charm with cedar siding, a slate tile roof and grounds suited to outdoor entertaining. The interior has a timeless ambiance with unparalleled craftsmanship as evident in its lavish woodwork, bespoke bookcases, gothic arched doorways, beamed ceilings and custom millwork. The refined grandeur of the great room is reminiscent of an English country manor with a marble fireplace enveloped in rich wooden paneling and intricately carved columns. The adjacent sunroom is bathed in soft sunlight with floor-to-ceiling windows. Entertain guests in the formal dining room, which flows seamlessly into the butler's pantry and country kitchen. Parquet floors lead to the study, a serene space for productivity- which opens to the Georgian-style living room with a corner fireplace. The grand library is a bibliophile's dream, boasting solid cherry bookcases and soaring 12-foot ceilings- a testament to the home's expansive design. Upstairs, the six generously proportioned bedrooms maintain the same sense of heritage and style. There are four full baths upstairs and two powder rooms on the main level. In this home, artistry and timelessness intertwine. We invite buyers to come see how they could start writing their own chapter in the history of this storied home.
