Casa para comprar en Bernardville, New Jersey

One of the most private estate settings on the Bernardsville Mountain was once part of the extensive Engelhard holdings. As the land drifts gently away from a private cul de sac it merges with a glorious wooded glen.The bridle trails are still marked as they meander along a stream and now serve as walking paths. In 1983 architect Al Bol designed a home that complemented this sublime property. Using fieldstone similar to that found in the circa 1897 pump house, now renovated and overlooking a small natural pond, the home is finished in natural materials like a wood roof and fieldstone siding. A large stone terrace crosses the rear of the house and wraps around a pool tucked out of sight. Landscape architect Brian Bosenberg designed the landscape which is beautifully integrated into its natural surroundings. Inside, the front entry opens into a two-story great room with a Palladian window wall overlooking the stone terrace.To the left, the kitchen with eating area is highlighted by a wall of stacked stone and a fireplace. A charming sun room adjoins.The 1st floor primary suite offers 2 full baths, walk-in closets and an adjacent office. Upstairs, there is a second primary bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath. This arrangement has worked well as a private cluster of rooms for guests. A finished, walkout lower level includes an expansive family/media room, a spacious exercise room, a delightful naturally-cooled wine cellar and a full bath. Sq ft per tax records. Ref: 36672-3866689
