An exceptional stucco Colonial is situated in an enclave of other custom-built properties. Located in Somerset County's Bridgewater Township, the quiet setting is convenient to a network of major highways. Professionally landscaped grounds of just over an acre feature bluestone terraces and walkways, mature trees and colorful perennials. Within this bright, airy home are five bedrooms, three full baths and two powder rooms. Interior highlights such as detailed millwork, architectural columns, designer paint colors, gleaming hardwood floors on all three levels, dual staircases and two fireplaces enhance this sophisticated home. Formal living and dining rooms flank the dramatic two-story foyer. Natural light streams through a bay window in the living room, while traditional crown, base and chair rail moldings are in keeping with the home's Colonial spirit. In the dining room, shadow box, crown and chair rail moldings delineate the space, and two circle top windows overlook park-like grounds. A fireplace is a classic focal point in the family room, as two-story ceiling heights and a balcony overlook add interest overhead. Just beyond a set of French doors is a sun-filled den, which opens onto a private bluestone terrace. The magnificent chef's kitchen is appointed with a tiered center island capped in granite and sparkling all-white cabinetry. Upstairs, an opulent master suite contains a bay windowed sitting area, two walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings and a master bath with skylights. Crema Marfil marble tile flooring is used in the master bath and all the baths in the home. Another highlight of the second floor is a charming play room. Additional living space on the partially-finished lower level is designed with high ceilings, hardwood floors and recessed lighting. It offers a daylight media room fitted with a built-in cherry entertainment center, wet bar and gas fireplace; plus recreation, exercise and storage rooms.
