Welcome to your dream home! This charming 1901 Bernardsville intown 4/5 bedroom, 2 ½ bath Colonial perfectly blends classic elegance with modern amenities. Professionally landscaping leads to a deep wrap-around porch opening to pergola seating overlooking formal gardens and lawn. Plenty of room for play and relaxing. The oversized detached 2-car garage & storage shed add elegance to functionality.
Enter through a massive Dutch front door, to light-filled rooms, beginning with a formal dining room/spacious parlor. An original pocket door leads into the living room. A double pocket door separates the living room from a formal dining room area - or in its current use - as a wonderful pool table room. Both living room & pool table rooms feature coffered ceilings, and there is tall wainscoting in the dining room. The living room has a charming, recessed wood stove stone fireplace, framed with bench seating. The pool table room has three sets of leaded glass doors onto the porch. Past the pool room are an updated powder room and a cozy den.
Enjoy entertaining family and guests with the not-to-be missed kitchen and butler pantry. The modern, renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a six-burner stove, microwave in the island and an abundance of cabinetry with an old-world charm. Between the kitchen and dining/pool table room is the butler pantry with, a beverage fridge, loads of glass-front cabinets, custom storage cabinets, and a sink tucked under a window. Between the kitchen and back porch is a brick-floor mudroom with a full coat closet and coat racks and cubbies, all welcoming you in from the front or back door.
The second bedroom/bath floor can be accessed from the rear staircase in the kitchen or the elegant front entry stairs with a colored leaded glass window feature on the landing. Both lead to a large second-floor hall with four spacious, sunny bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The marble hall bath features a soaking tub, a large shower stall, and a laundry closet. The hall itself includes the original built-in linen drawers and cabinets as well as a linen closet. The closet hides away holds plumbing for the second-floor bath and pipes to the third floor, readily facilitating the addition of a third-floor bath that could be paired with a massive additional primary bedroom.
The current primary ensuite bedroom on the second floor overlooks the rear garden, both inside and from the outdoor terrace entered through double French doors. The attached marble bath has a double vanity, a large shower, and is plumbed for a soaker tub where a hutch is currently.
Another corner bedroom features a walk-in closet in addition to another closet and bench seating and storage. A leaded triple window overlooks the back garden. Each of the other two bedrooms have double exposures, making the whole space bright and inviting.
The third floor is reached via a continuation of the lovely front staircase. There is a finished third floor bedroom/office, with another grand window overlooking the garden, and a closet. The unfinished large storage area to get to the bedroom includes a cedar closet, two attic fans, and the plumbing for another bath should it be desired by the new owners. Bring your architects to add more finished square footage should your household need or want that.
All this charm is nestled in an historic neighborhood, mere blocks from town, shopping, schools, and all Bernardsville has to offer. Don’t miss this opportunity to make this stunning home yours – schedule a tour today!
