Authentic Tudor Revival architecture is showcased in a luxurious Mendham Township residence. This graceful, gracious home is situated on 5.85 acres in the scenic Roxiticus Valley section of the township where it's close to the Peapack-Gladstone border. Set on a peaceful cul de sac, the entrance is marked by double brick wing walls leading to the paved circular drive overlooking lovely landscapes. Inside, the dramatic floor plan of over 4,700 square feet presents five bedrooms, three full baths, two powder rooms as well as an attached three-car garage. Bucolic views of open green lawns, mature specimen trees, perennials and leafy woodlands can be viewed from the tiered patio.  Careful attention was paid to classic Tudor styling both inside and out. The exterior is an artful combination of stone, brick, stucco, clapboard and wood timbering with steep rooflines, diamond paned leaded glass windows and harmonious architectural lines. Inside, regal details include custom woodwork, flooring of wood, terra cotta tile, and parquet wood, coffered ceilings, two-story gathering spaces, colorful stained glass windows, stucco-like wall finishes and a commanding stone and stucco fireplace.  Making a grand first impression, the towering two-story foyer contains parquet hardwood and tile flooring, a built-in bench and imperial Tudor staircase embellished with ornate woodworking. This magnificent entrance opens to the library and dining room. Highlights of the step-down wood paneled library include parquet hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, a leaded glass window topped by custom transoms and a coffered ceiling. Generously-sized for special occasions, the baronial dining room is a two-story space featuring wood ceiling beams, pegged random width hardwood floors, stucco-finished walls and upper wall openings revealing the overhead loft and second story foyer. An adjoining step down great room is anchored by a massive stone and stucco finished wood-burning fireplace capped by a decorative wood mantle. Equally compelling design elements in this room include front and rear-facing floor-to-ceiling leaded glass windows with stained glass accents, a wood spiral staircase to the upstairs loft, and beamed walls and ceilings. An expansive kitchen is characterized by a butcher block center island with prep sink, wood cabinetry, walls of repurposed brick, and  appliances including a Vulcan double oven with a six-burner gas range and griddle. French doors in the kitchen's sunny dining area open to an entertainment-friendly two-level patio and park-like backyard. Completing the main floor is a bedroom suite connecting to a full bath, plus laundry and powder room. There is also access to the full, daylight basement level, an unfinished area with high ceilings and a powder room.  Upstairs, the light-filled master bedroom has walk-in closets, a huge leaded glass window framing countryside views and a sumptuous master bath with platform soaking tub, walk-in shower and double sink vanity. Three additional bedrooms share a full bath on this level. Truly a one-of-a-kind masterwork, this home is located in sought-after Mendham Township near major highways, commuter trains, schools, shopping, restaurants, recreation, historic sites and cultural venues.
