21 Long View Rd, Lebanon, NJ 08833

Nineteen wooded and open acres frame this handsome home built in 1978 and updated several times since then. A pond and waterfall mark the beginning of a winding drive that leads to the wood and fieldstone custom residence, nestled into lovely gardens marked by stone walls, sweeping lawns, and stone patios. This site takes full advantage of the peace and quiet of the country setting. A broad pastoral view over treetops and beyond is seen from every part of the house. Handsome mahogany doors open to a two-story foyer with pristine wood floors and a skylight. The living room to the left has a cathedral ceiling with French doors to a stone patio and wall of windows that flood the room with light. A fieldstone wood-burning fireplace anchors the other end of this generous room. An adjoining library has a similar fieldstone fireplace and built-in bookcases, desk, and cabinetry. Three sets of French doors in the dining room open to an additional stone patio, bringing the outdoors in beautifully. A gas-burning fireplace with built-in cabinetry distinguish this room further. The kitchen has a large granite center island with two sinks, Viking six-burner range with two ovens and griddle, Sub-Zero double drawer refrigerator plus standing refrigerator with freezer, a wine cooler, dishwasher, microwave, pantry, warming drawer, as well as a glowing fireplace to gather around and lovely dining area by a wall of windows overlooking the view. Both the patio and deck are accessed from the kitchen. The great room has a wood-burning floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace opposite a wall of windows and French doors to the deck, a wet bar with wine refrigerator, a central sound system closet, paddle fans, and circular stair to the lower level. The first floor is completed with laundry room and powder room. The second floor has a primary bedroom with fireplace, deck access, dressing room with double sinks, compartmentalized walk-in closet, shower and third sink, two additional carpeted bedrooms, one with deck access, and a hall bath with double sinks, soaking tub and shower. The lower level has multiple entertainment rooms-- a billiards room with fireplace, exercise room and game room-- plus a three-season room and wine tasting room, both with wet bars, a full bath and sliding glass doors to the lower patio and outdoor kitchen. There is also a utility room and workshop. With minor changes this area could serve as an ideal in-law suite with level access to the outside. A two-car garage completes the lower level.
