This property is easily accessible by all major highways including Rt 287, Rt 18, Rt 1, Parkway, and Turnpike. There are two train stations literally minutes away.

Enter this expansive, sub dividable 1.5 acre property through stone gates flanking the ends of a newly paved circular driveway with soldier course Belgian block. Walk up the blue stone stairs and enter a world of elegance in this 6 bedroom 5 bathroom historic home.
Red oak hardwood floors grace the impressive entry way and continue through the large formal dining room and living room adjacent to the entry. In the dining room you will find regal crown molding and two built in glass front cabinets to display your treasures. Lenox sconces and brass and crystal chandeliers complete the picture.
In the living room you can relax by the custom marble fireplace with a book you have chosen from the large built in book shelves. From here, you can move into the adjacent entertainment room with terrazzo flooring. You can pour yourself a beverage at the bar and sit next to the large stone fireplace, enjoy a movie or simply listen to your favorite music on the recently upgraded Nutone intercom system. Through the large windows or from the patio surrounding the entertainment room, you can look out over the property including the pool and expansive surrounding patios.
The pool is a one of a kind masterpiece! It is a top of the line gunnite pool which was completely redone last year including all new electric, plumbing, dual pumps, and high efficiency heat pump heater. The pool area is enclosed with no maintenance aluminum top of the line fencing and has a new custom safety cover by MEYCO. Atop the extensive stone wall along the back of the pool are three fountains shooting into the pool. The area surrounding the pool is well lit by four post lights and the pool is lit with conventional and SAM lights (multicolored).
The pool is accessed through a newly constructed lower level patio. This patio has a beautiful paver face with a heart of concrete! Underneath the pavers is a six inch layer of tough, reinforced concrete to prevent any later sinking of the paver surface. Along the back of the lower level patio is a custom wall with two staircases leading to the upper level pool area and the freestanding 2 bedroom guest house.
From the patio, you can walk down a custom stairway to the driveway area and on to the full size tennis/basketball court. This area is fully fenced and has a regulation net as well as basketball hoops for the kids.
The house has 3 fireplaces. One is stone in the terra cotta partially finished basement, one is marble in the living room, and another is stone in the entertainment room. Red oak hardwood floors throughout most of the house with the remainder being terrazzo, marble, and granite.
