House buy in Bernardsville New Jersey

A stunning all-brick Georgian Colonial on the Bernardsville Mountain, located off a private cul-de-sac on fully fenced grounds that were once part of an historic estate known as 'Kenilwood', was carefully designed and built to suit the fastidious demands of its original owner in 2000. Offered for sale by its second owners, the grounds now include a generous pool and waterfall spa set within a bluestone patio that ultimately spans the rear of the home and links to the first-floor rooms. Impeccably updated and maintained, the classic interior enjoys high ceilings, gleaming wood floors, gracious light-filled spaces that flow from one end of the house to the next, 4 gas fireplaces and handsome millwork. At the heart of the house, a glorious white kitchen with center eating island and a comfortable informal dining area opens to the family room and beyond to a handsome bar room with adjoining full bath. Converted from a first-floor bedroom and opening now to the rear patio as well as the family room, this space could revert to a bedroom suite. A wood-paneled library and a spacious office with multiple workstations are complemented by another den/office on the floor above. On the second floor a beautiful primary suite with generous sitting room, double bathrooms and walk-in closets is joined by three more gracious bedroom suites with updated baths. Over the garage, an expansive family room/game room with sauna adds versatility and a multitude of uses including a potential fifth bedroom on the second floor. An unfinished but exceptionally enticing attic room on the third floor has access off a walk-up staircase and benefits from a nicely architected vaulted ceiling and dormer windows. It is easy to see a conversion to a media room, game room, office suite or a bedroom suite as a six-bedroom septic system is in place. An additional 2,000 square foot lower level is perfectly devoted to recreation and entertaining around a bar area. The versatility is extensive and the quality high in this very special offering that reminds one why the Bernardsville Mountain remains in such demand. Ref: 36672-3739586
