Life in Basking Ridge comes with "a polished past, and polite people", the New York Times has said. This picture perfect colonial in the desirable Mount Airy Heights section, has that and much more. The homeowners have lovingly kept and updated this home throughout their 20 year tenure. The kitchen has been redone top to bottom with gorgeous 42" glazed maple cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances and nice-to-haves like a potfiller and warming drawer. Baths have been upgraded too. Hardwood floors extend throughout the home and light fills the space through bright, true divided light, windows. The style is classic colonial, with generous rooms, a first floor office and gracious outdoor space. Like Basking Ridge, the neighborhood has a long history of casual, congenial living. Wonderful parks, stables, and recreational amenities are nearby, including the well-known Somerset YMCA. The town center "blends a rural setting with an urban vibe", offering a variety of shops and restaurants. This relaxed sophistication of Basking Ridge may be its greatest appeal. Attractions of the area include a highly rated school system, moderate Somerset taxes and a reasonable commute to New York with access by train or highway. Routes 287 and 78 are easily accessible within minutes.
