Majestic Custom Contemporary in Bridgewater Township Luxuriously detailed throughout, a custom California-style ranch in Bridgewater Township offers dramatic gathering spaces on its single-level floor plan. This highly original residence features five bedrooms, three-and-one-half baths and an attached three-car garage. Approached by a circular paved drive, formal landscaping edged by woodlands enhance the 2.99-acre setting which is positioned to capture colorful sunset views. Gracious public rooms are flanked by dual bedroom wings, making it well-suited for multiple generations, long-term guests or au pair living arrangements. Finished in a handsome mix of stucco and brick, the covered, columned entry hints at an elegant interior. Primary rooms are located in the home's central hub, a layout that invites entertaining and comfortable everyday life. Among the highlights are marble or maple hardwood floors, dimensional millwork, graceful columns, two fireplaces, custom windows, glass doors, arched room openings, recessed and custom lighting, neutral paint colors and generously-sized rooms. An 18-foot octagonal ceiling in the living room accommodates towering arched window walls topped by fixed upper transoms. Maple hardwood floors, extensive trim and a set of glass atrium doors to the refurbished brick paver patio are additional design elements. Nearby, a formal dining room entered beyond stately columns is set under a tray ceiling embellished with applied moldings. Vaulted ceilings distinguish the family room featuring a gas fireplace, crown moldings and recessed lights. Serving as the true heart of the home is a chef's kitchen designed with rich cherry cabinetry, granite counters, a center island breakfast bar, newer stainless steel appliances, tile flooring and a walk-in pantry. Spanning from the kitchen are the two-bedroom wings. One wing contains an oversized master bedroom which accesses a private patio plus a huge master bath containing a jetted tub, shower, two sink vanities, a private commode and two roomy walk-in closets. This wing also offers two more bedrooms connected by a full bath, a study and a powder room. The second bedroom wing has an expansive bedroom with a walk-in closet. Its shared full bath adjoins a fifth bedroom in this part of the home. Bonus future living space can be created in the daylight, walkout lower level where a set of glass atrium doors opens to the manicured backyard. Currently semi-finished, this part of the home offers high ceilings and endless possibilities for recreation, remote working or learning areas, additional bedrooms or fitness space. Built in 2007 and beautifully maintained by the present owners, this home was constructed with 2 x 6 framing using extra insulation, two zones of natural gas heat and central air conditioning, a hot water circulating system, central vacuum, public sewer and leased solar panels. The NRG solar panel system is eight years old and consists of 59 panels that generate 13,000-14,000 kW.

It is convenient to major commuting routes including Routes 202/206, I-78 and I-287 as well as regional business campuses, local schools, large-scale shopping, fine dining and scenic parkland.
