Luxury Colonial at Pond Hill Estates in Basking Ridge Situated in Basking Ridge's intimate Pond Hill Estates neighborhood, a brick front Colonial is one of just ten luxurious manor homes in this sought-after enclave. Measuring nearly 4,000 square-feet, the flexible layout is arranged on three finished levels offering five or six bedrooms, four-and-one-half baths and an attached three-car garage. Surrounded by 1.5 acres of open, level and treed privacy, the landscaped property is enhanced by a gunite pool with spa enclosed by black aluminum fencing, an entertainment-friendly Trex deck and paver patios taking in serene views. Newly built in 2016, it is just minutes from highly-rated local schools, interstate highways, NJ Transit trains, large-scale shopping, fine dining, scenic parkland and numerous recreational opportunities. Highlights of the open floor plan include wood floors, classic moldings, generously-sized rooms, towering ceiling heights, expansive windows filling the home with natural light, multiple ceiling fans, recessed lighting, a gourmet granite and stainless steel kitchen, a lavish primary suite and a finished, walkout lower level with bonus living space. A long paved drive and front walkway edged in formal landscapes leads to the covered, columned main entrance and transom-topped front door bordered by sidelights. Introducing this Colonial is a soaring two-story foyer featuring wood floors, wainscoting, a staircase with iron railings and a modern chandelier. Flanking this grand entry are formal living and dining rooms designed with wood floors and circle top windows. The elegant dining room adjoins a handsome butler's pantry connecting to the gourmet kitchen, an ideal arrangement for entertaining. Tucked behind a French door, the home office is a quiet spot for remote work or schooling. An expansive center island kitchen contains richly-toned wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and wood floors extending into the roomy breakfast area, where a sliding French door overlooks the deck, pool and backyard. Continuing the open concept is a two-story family room anchored by a granite surround fireplace set into a dramatic window wall. This soaring space also has a railed balcony overlook from the upper foyer. Completing the main level are powder, laundry and mud rooms. Upstairs, a huge primary bedroom is designed with a tray ceiling, windowed sitting area, crown moldings, wood floors and a walk-in closet. An indulgent primary bath contains an enormous, fully-tiled walk-in shower with multiple shower heads and a clear glass enclosure, a long granite-topped double sink vanity and custom tilework. Four additional bedrooms--one an en suite adjoining a private bath and three sharing another full bath-- provide ample personal space. An open staircase on the main level accesses the finished, daylight lower level. This part of the home has neutral carpet, windows, recessed lights and a French door to the covered paver patio, backyard and pool. Perfect for casual get-togethers, it offers a recreation room, game room, full bath and exercise room or possible sixth bedroom. Storage areas are also located on this convenient walkout level. Serving the home are natural gas, municipal water and sewer, a sprinkler system and a dry well.
