Custom-Built French Country Home at Shallow Brook Estates in Tewksbury Situated on over three acres in the picturesque Mountainville section of Tewksbury, a custom French Country home is a distinctive presence in the Hunterdon Hills. Set far back from the road and accessed by a circular drive lined in boxwoods, the graceful stone and stucco architecture is capped by a wood shingle roof. Inside, a flowing 17-room floor plan offering six bedrooms, seven full baths and a powder room measures approximately 6,649 square feet, with approximately 2,189 square feet of additional finished living space in the walkout lower level. There is a three-car garage adjoining a roomy parking court. The peaceful surroundings include a resort-style heated gunite pool and spa, a stone-walled terrace with built-in grill and bar seating, a pergola shading a bluestone patio, entertainment-friendly fire pit area, plus covered and open porches, all overlooking formal landscapes and green lawns. This residence’s prime cul de sac location affords an extra measure of privacy in Shallow Brook Estates, one of the region’s most notable luxury home enclaves. Highlights of the sun-filled layout included random-width oak hardwood floors, detailed millwork, five masonry fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows framing pastoral views, French doors, high ceilings, custom lighting, plantation shutters, a wet bar and generously-sized rooms. Introducing the home is a customized double door revealing the two-story foyer, where a curving staircase is edged in ornate custom-made iron railings.
