Displaying high levels of designer expertise and close attention to detail, an all-brick Colonial is a gracious presence on 1.5 landscaped acres in Watchung. Lantern-topped brick pillars, a circular drive and covered entry supported by towering columns enhance the classic architecture of this grand estate, where over 6500 square feet of sophisticated living space is arranged on four beautifully finished floors. The open layout of five bedrooms, four full baths and a powder room offers plenty of space for guests and everyday living. Outdoor amenities include an over-sized cedar deck with a spiral cedar staircase leading to the expansive paver patio spanning the rear of the home, a perfect backdrop for warm weather gatherings. Exquisitely designed, the patio’s unique medallion motif is edged by brick knee walls topped in limestone. Sublime interior design elements include intricate crown moldings throughout, flooring of marble and hardwood, French doors, two gas fireplaces, high ceilings, freshly-painted rooms in neutral colors, two full-service wet bars, recessed lighting, custom built-ins and over-sized windows framing woodland views. Peacefully situated at the end of a cul de sac, this remarkable home is centrally located minutes from highways, shopping, dining, schools and recreational opportunities. Introducing this majestic Colonial is a soaring two-story foyer showcasing a sweeping open staircase with a 360-degree railed catwalk above, recently restored marble flooring, a Palladian window, chandelier and adjacent marble-floored powder room. The foyer offers double French door entries into some of the principal spaces including a serene living room finished in ivory toned walls, plush carpeting and custom-made damask draperies. Also set behind French doors is the banquet-sized dining room fitted with crown dentil moldings, hardwood floors and a chandelier set into an ornate ceiling medallion.
