JUST COMPLETED: BRAND NEW 5 BEDROOM SEPTIC HAS BEEN INSTALLED! Designer-Inspired Renovation Distinguishes Custom Bernardsville Residence Newly renovated using a fresh, on-trend design aesthetic, a custom residence in Bernardsville offers an open floor plan filled with upscale details and a brand new five-bedroom septic system. The whole house transformation was envisioned by custom builders who dramatically enhanced this stylish home, which is approached beyond lantern-topped stone pillars marking the long, winding drive. Measuring over 5,000 square feet, the sun-filled layout has five bedrooms and four full baths as well as an attached four-car garage. Set on 1.2 open and treed acres, the home is less than three miles from the charming downtown for shops, dining and Midtown Direct trains. Highlights include refinished red oak floors edged by oversized base moldings on the main level, beamed and shiplap-paneled ceilings, neutral paint colors, designer light fixtures, custom baths with wood-look tile floors and an all-new kitchen featuring white cabinets, marble countertops, a quartz backsplash and stainless steel GE Café series appliances. A lavish primary suite in its own private wing, a second story suite ideal for multiple uses, and the finished lower level providing casual gathering space are further amenities. The main level is arranged with a living room featuring a picture window, beamed shiplap ceilings and an adjacent dining room where natural light streams in through three window walls. This open concept space continues into the modern kitchen designed with a dark navy island topped in marble with seating for four, white cabinets, a custom white quartz backsplash inlaid with metallic gold accents, GE Café appliances, a dry bar and beamed shiplap ceilings. There is a recently refurbished patio outside the kitchen for al fresco meals. A hallway leads to three generous bedrooms with ample closet space and ceiling fans, a full updated bath, a light-filled home office and the luxurious primary suite. This owners' retreat begins in an expansive bedroom containing a sitting area, chandelier, recessed lights and crown moldings. Sliding barn doors reveal an enormous dressing room/built-in closet with an oversized window and chandelier. In the glamorous full bath, a walk-in steam shower offering rain shower and wall shower heads, two sink vanities from Restoration Hardware and a private commode lend a spa feeling. Completing this level is a well-appointed laundry room and a door leading to the rear yard. Multi-generational living is an option in the upstairs separate living area which can serve as a remote schooling space, home office or playroom. It is comprised of a living area with granite-topped wet bar and two window seats, a bedroom plus a full bath. The daylight lower level has a family room warmed by a stone wood-burning fireplace, a full designer bath, spacious mudroom with storage cubbies and hooks, plenty of storage areas and access to the attached four-car garage. As part of the recent renovation, the home features a new five-bedroom septic, and was converted to natural gas utilizing two new heating units, plus central air conditioning, a Smart thermostat and a new gas hot water heater. Truly a gracious presence in the Somerset Hills, this custom home is a rare offering in sought-after Bernardsville.
