3 Vale Dr, Mountain Lakes, NJ 07046

In 1999, a 1947 Cape Cod was torn down and a Colonial-style home with an open floorplan took its place. 3 Vale Drive had entered the ranks of properties changing the face of the Village section of Mountain Lakes. Designed by esteemed architect Richard W. Nelson and built by the current owner, this (approximately) 3,300 square-foot gem sits on a private, flat lot surrounded by trees. In 2006, when the owner added a large backyard deck, the exterior was complete. Accustomed to building luxury properties, the owner spared no expense, investing in high-end appliances, materials, and fixtures. The FiveStar Range - with 6 gas burners, griddle/grill, stainless steel hood, heat lamps, 2 ovens, and 2 bottom-drawer broilers - is a delight for even the most discerning cook. A vintage wood-burning stove, custom kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, decorative tile inlays, and hand-carved wood fireplace mantel, are just some of the details lending richness and character to the owner's dream house. Now YOU can enjoy the natural light streaming through numerous custom Anderson doors and windows; the nominal exterior maintenance of upscale Triple-Clad Vinyl Siding and composite Beadboard Soffits; the durability of a Timberline 35-year Dimensional Roof; and LOW TAXES! Charm, elegance, quality, and function abound. A rare find. You will fall in love! Neighborhood Description You CAN have it all in Mountain Lakes.
