A classic shingle style estate is surrounded by two acres of open, level lawns on the Bernardsville Mountain. Its impressive floor plan offers five bedrooms, four full baths and a powder room arranged on three finished levels. Originally built in 1890, this inviting residence has been carefully upgraded through the years, most recently in 2002. Mature specimen trees, lush gardens, stone walls, bluestone terraces and a refreshing pool enhance the beautiful setting. Inside, formal living and dining rooms, a chef's center island kitchen, first floor guest suite and spacious primary suite offer an ideal balance of public and private spaces. The gracious floor plan includes white oak wood and cork floors, high ceilings, expansive windows, generous room sizes, French doors, two wet bars, two wood-burning fireplaces, built-ins and recessed lighting. Approached by circular drive with parking court, the timeless architecture clad in cedar shingles features an attached greenhouse.
