Elegance Defines a Custom Colonial on 3.5 Acres
Truly a showcase home sited on 3.51 sweeping acres in Tewksbury Township, this magnificent Custom Colonial was featured in the pages of New Jersey Monthly Magazine in October, 20008. An open floor plan of approximately 4,900 square feet contains four bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths. Ideally suited for both indoor and outdoor entertaining, the home features landscaped grounds with an in-ground pool surrounded by open and covered terraces, as well as numerous well-appointed interior spaces for formal and casual gatherings.
Many of the main rooms on the first floor are detailed with traditional moldings, oak hardwood floors, high ceilings and oversized windows. Large rooms are updated using neutral colors throughout. The bright and airy layout begins in a two-story foyer with a turned staircase and fluted columns.
In the formal living room, deep crown moldings and hardwood floors are classic design elements. The living room opens onto the formal dining room, where chair rails, crown molding and French doors to the rear terrace are featured. A towering family room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with raised stone hearth. The cherry wood wall unit with built-in cabinets and drawers is flanked by a computer station in the den, making it the perfect place for a home office.
The gourmet kitchen is noteworthy for its appearance in New Jersey Monthly Magazine last Fall. Among the inviting features are custom cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a 14-foot center island with hammered tin bar sink. Upper-end stainless steel appliances include a Garland™ six-burner gas stove with Viking™ warming drawer, oval-shaped Best™ exhaust hood, KitchenAid™ double ovens, Miele™ dishwasher and two KitchenAid™ refrigerator/freezers. Adjoining the kitchen is a sunny breakfast room designed with a window wall and French doors to the covered terrace.
Double French doors in the breakfast room lead to a sun room fitted with cathedral ceilings and a window wall opening onto the bluestone terrace. The billiards room is accessed through an ante room with two double door closets and a French door to the terrace. High angled ceilings in the billiards room lend an additional sense of spaciousness, while the built-in wet bar and access to the covered terrace simplify entertaining. Also on the main floor are a full bath with tiled shower, a powder room with partial tumbled marble walls and a laundry room with pantry closet.
Upstairs, double French doors reveal the elegant master bedroom with tray ceiling, crown moldings and a spacious walk-in closet. The private master bath offers a double cherry wood vanity, two-person jetted tub, tile shower and separate commode. Ample closet space and plush wall-to-wall carpeting characterize the three additional bedrooms on this level. Two bedrooms share a full bath, while the fourth bedroom has its own sitting room and en-suite full bath.
Outside, the roomy bluestone terrace is partially covered by a wood tongue-and-groove ceiling fitted with four ceiling fans and recessed lighting. The terrace extends to a free-form in-ground heated pool. A gas-heated outdoor spa can be used all year long. Rolling acreage is enhanced with flower gardens, PVC and metal fencing, a storage shed, and a gravel circular drive with paver wall and pillars. Bluestone front walkways lead to a covered front porch with bluestone flooring and a wood tongue-and-groove ceiling. A handsome exterior of stone and Hardiplank™ siding is maintenance free.
Among the mechanical workings of this home are three zones of natural gas forced hot air heat, central air conditioning, plus extensive security, sprinkler and central vacuum systems. Surround Sound speakers serve the first floor and rear yard. Additionally, the home offers an attached three-car garage with automatic openers.
