15 Laurelwood Dr, Bernardsville, NJ 07924

Nestled in Laurelwood, a sought-after Somerset Hills neighborhood, this timeless Bernardsville Colonial provides the space and privacy essential to a modern lifestyle. The moment you step through the front door, the opportunity to live life fully unfolds. A flowing center hall layout leads from the living room into the cozy office and sunroom, then back again to the huge family room and open kitchen. There are glimpses of the private yard which beckon you toward a tiered deck. Situated on nearly one acre, this special property backs to protected green acres, giving it the feeling of a much larger parcel. Bay windows and high ceilings in the formal living and dining rooms invite special occasion gatherings or intimate dinners. The well-equipped kitchen makes meal preparation a delight, with oversized windows, expansive counter space and room for multiple cooks. Skylights above and in the adjacent breakfast room create an airy environment, and sliding doors to the custom-designed deck enhance indoor-outdoor enjoyment. Entertaining is effortless in the open family room featuring window walls, custom shelving and a brick fireplace. Two baths, a mud room entry and a butler's pantry are additional conveniences on the main level. The second level is designed to afford maximum privacy for the primary suite, an oasis featuring a stunning new bath with a roomy glass-enclosed shower, free standing soaking tub, dual sinks, an additional vanity, and separate water closet. Lofty tray ceilings in the bedroom and a separate sitting room with a gas fireplace complete this exemplary retreat. Four additional bedrooms, two of which have en suite baths, and a large laundry room complete the second level. The guest baths have new double vanities, tile floors, shower doors and lighting for a fresh, crisp look. The finished walkout lower level has spaces to exercise in the privacy of your home, watch a movie, or enjoy a game of pool. A bonus room can be used as an extra office or hobby space. Another separate area with full-sized windows offers possibilities for a future guest suite or a private lounge area. Recent renovations, a whole house generator and an excellent location offer peace of mind for today's homeowners. Laurelwood is a well-manicured, established neighborhood that combines country living and in-town conveniences amid quiet streets and nearby walking trails. Bernardsville is known for its highly-rated schools, a bustling town center with Midtown Direct train service to New York, and easy access to major highways, all just 45 miles from Manhattan.
