Set high on the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains, this expansive ranch's array of windows capture panoramic views as far as Middlesex County and the Goethals Bridge. The residence's creative design supplements the architect's intense understanding of dramatic topography. And the skills of the master builder have yielded a showcase. Craftsmanship is lavishly displayed in the foyer with captivating raised-barrel ceiling, arched entries to formal rooms, French doors opening to Juliette balconies, specialty windows. Offering primarily one-floor living, warm radiant-heat hardwood floors stretch the home's impressive length. Never losing sight of the engaging vista, gathering and private spaces offer gracious comfort. The dining room will readily accommodate a host of holiday diners. The kitchen, designed for the professionally trained homeowner/chef, displays walls of driftwood- hued cabinetry tucked with conveniences, an island with breakfast bar, large walk-in pantry and first-rate appliances including an individual full-height refrigerator and freezer. In the adjoining open family room, a fieldstone fireplace rises to the vaulted ceiling. A sliding-glass door opens from one of two window walls to the patio and backyard. The office features a tray ceiling, fireplace and built-ins. Further along the master suite hosts a bedroom with full balcony, room-sized closet, elegant bath, and turret shaped sun room. Two additional bedrooms and another suite line the hall. Accessed from a back entry and private staircase to the second level, the home's third suite includes a dazzling Palladium window inset with French doors opening to the Juliette balcony. A full bath and laundry facility accompany the suite. Step out to the home's paverstone patio and savor the sheer stillness. Trees, decades tall, shape a verdant border at the property's 1.59-acre perimeter. The vast front lawn sweeps up to a double tier of stone walls defining the carved terrain. And always, there is the relentlessly enchanting vista. For additional information or to set up an appointment to tour, please contact The Michele Klug Team at 908-800-4269 or info@micheleklug.com.
