28 Mountainside Rd, Mendham, NJ 07945

Located in a vibrant neighborhood filled with typical Mendham life, the home is a traditional center hall colonial with detailed moldings and hardwood floors. The living and dining rooms are formal yet comfortable. Each can accommodate a small intimate gathering or larger groups for entertaining. Perfect for relaxing, the family room offers a newly installed Morso high quality wood burning fireplace for those cold winter months and a large bay window that provides a mirror to a beautiful summer day.An extension to the kitchen, master bedroom, and basement was added in 2002. At the same time, the kitchen was remodeled and completely updated. This is truly the heart of the home. Sun-filled and open to the deck, the kitchen has a welcoming comfortable ambiance. With sleek European style birch cabinetry, there is an abundance of cabinets and drawer space, including a pull out pantry and roll out stainless wired drawers. The counters are granite and there is extensive counter space throughout. A breakfast bar with seating for four is the perfect place for casual dining or conversing with the cook at mealtime. It is a cooks kitchen with a five burner stove and ample prep space. All the appliances are stainless, and the backsplash is tumbled marble. Set apart from the breakfast bar is a large roomy eat-in area which looks out onto the backyard. Besides recessed lighting, there are pendant lights over the breakfast bar and separate eating area.As part of the renovation, the master bedroom was enlarged, and two walk-in closets and a large master bath were constructed. Light-filled and yet totally private, the bath has a cathedral ceiling with wood beams. The ceiling height allows large geometric windows to bring in the landscape of the outside. There are double sinks with stainless hardware and an oversized shower and Jacuzzi styled tub. Adjacent to the master bath is the well-equipped laundry room.This lovely colonial is situated on almost two acres of lush property professionally landscaped and lovingly maintained. With mature trees, perennial gardens, and beautiful flower beds, the grounds are superb. A deck spans the back of the house and looks out onto the absolutely beautiful yard. At the far end of the property, nestled in its own enclave, is a gazebo. Pride in ownership defines this home inside and out. It is a true gem.
