"Hound Hill" A Top of The World View to the Somerset Hills Visionary architect, James Timpson, had a plan when designing this custom home in Mendham. He wanted to highlight the inspirational views that encompass the area's surging hills and Pleasant Valley. Timpson exceeded his goal in this amazing residence where indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces are integrated seamlessly into the sun splashed, window filled, open layout. Total privacy, seclusion, and relentless views await upon arrival at the home's 10+ acre hilltop setting. Yet villages and the rail line are within five minutes. Gardens, terraces, meadows and woodlands provide the stage for this luxuriously updated expanded home offering all living areas on the main floor and a smartly outfitted office/kitchenette/two-bedroom apartment with private entry upstairs. Sophisticated, spacious, and inviting, guests are welcomed into a Foyer spanning the home's east/west axis. The open floor plan, presented with extensive custom millwork, crafted built-ins, and multiple fireplaces, reveals a confident, comfortable elegance. The wood floors are espresso oak, and the travertine and marble floors are warmed with radiant heat. Straight ahead of the entry, the Living/Dining Room rises to 10-feet and spans 40-feet. Its long wall of glass doors immediately draws one's eyes back to the outdoors, to the brick terrace framed with fieldstone wall and yes, the ever-fascinating adagio of light and views. In the Kitchen, skylight bathes soapstone and granite countertops, professional grade appliances are by Wolf, Fisher & Paykel, Décor, Sub-Zero, Waterstone. White contrasts with dark cabinetry and bare toes relish the indulgent radiant heated travertine floor. Guests will love visiting with the chef around the 8-foot island, the sizeable glass filled breakfast area or the open Family Room, with fireplace, its reclaimed barn wood siding and beams intimating a cozy comfort. Dramatic Farrow and Bali paint provides a handsome palette for the carved-panel Library sheltered by folding doors at its entrances. The private space hosts walls of lighted bookcase cabinetry and a slate-framed fireplace. Adjoining is a wet bar and a Lounge with yet more window walls. A spiral staircase descends from the Lounge to the Basement's sizeable wine cellar. Prevailing in the east wing of the residence, the interplay of luxurious materials, creative design and nature's splendor is simply breathtaking in the Primary Suite. Radiant heated Calacatta Vagli marble floors flow throughout the 23' x 12' consummately appointed Dressing Room and continue to the adjoining Bath. A large center island and myriads of adeptly planned built-ins furnish the former. In the Bath, unending nature, arriving through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, gifts a sensory paradise. Cutting-edge systems complement. Two additional beautifully appointed en suites are located on this main level. Other structures on the grounds include a detached rebuilt two-car Garage bringing the total garage count to four. Also, a charming and spacious Garden Shed is located in the gardens near the stone fire pit taking in the fabulous views. Treasurable A haven like none other.
