3 Mount Pleasant Rd, Morristown, NJ 07960

Last updated Feb 2019. Think of a charming little castle overlooking a babbling brook. When you live here, coming home feels like coming home to a wonderful vacation home. This home is a Mendham Township (low taxes) one of a kind custom home with privacy, quiet, and character. A spring fed stream crosses the property's 3 acres and feeds a large Koi pond. It also has an in-ground heated Gunite pool with an attached hot tub and waterfall. Of note, this house is not stick-construction, it has insulated concrete wall construction with a granite stone exterior, solid as a rock and it will never need painting (the granite was trucked here from Maine and Nova Scotia). To build a home like this today would be cost prohibitive. Other notable features include; the cobblestone turnaround driveway, a huge deck, and three fireplaces (one with a wood stove that can heat the entire home), open floor plan and a great master suite. The builder and original owner told us he worked with and for Frank Lloyd Wright and he used that experience as inspiration to build this home. This Frank Lloyd Wright experience shows in the home's site selection, design, livability, and solid construction. The home is only 4 miles from The Green in Morristown and convenient to restaurants, grocery stores and NJ Transit trains. There is also a log cabin with a stone fireplace and slate roof on the property, I've been told it was built in the 1920's, it was the first house in the area and it's been a fair-weather wood shop for many years. When we walked down the driveway 20 years ago we were wowed out by this home, it was so different and so special, we quickly "got it" and it's been a love affair ever since. We are now looking for the right people for this special home. Note: 1. New first class septic system installed in 2017. 2. A new blacktop driveway in 2017. 3. New Crown furnace/boiler and indirect hot water tank 2010.
