OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY AUG 29, 1 - 4pm !
Perfectly situated on a private 3.5+ acre property in Harding Township's “New Vernon”, this fabulous property offers tranquil living just minutes from mid-town direct trains, highways, shopping and so much more. The “expanded cape” style home offers spectacular pastoral and wooded views across its entire Westerly facing rear side. The classic “red barn” with tremendous space adds to both the charm and the overall expansion potential of this truly unique property. The home features a recently renovated gourmet kitchen complete with a breakfast nook, professional stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry and finishes. The kitchen opens to the attached family room and a sliding French door leads to a large trex deck. There is a formal dining room situated directly off the kitchen with custom built in china cabinetry, parquet floors, classic paneled doors between living and dining rooms and a wall of divided light picture and casement windows providing lots of light and views. The formal living room which bisects the home has more picture and casement windows on both outside walls. The room also features a wood burning fireplace with a marble and granite hearth as well a detailed wood mantle, crown molding and parquet floors. There are doors on either side of the fireplace leading to both the master bedroom suite and a classic sunroom with three walls of windows. The master bedroom suite has a formal sitting room with attached bath and closets leading into a large bedroom area with a vaulted ceiling, a wood burning fireplace with a brick hearth and three sets of triple windows providing for more glorious views. There is also a French door leading to the sun room and a private patio and pool area for late evening dips in the pool or a place to sit and enjoy morning coffee. The home’s second floor features two large bedrooms each with a walk-in closet. The home's third full bath is situated off the hallway between the rooms. There is attic space located off of each bedroom, offering not only lots of storage space but fantastic potential for future expansion. The lower level has casement windows for lots of natural light and a walkout entry door. There is an unfinished storage and utility area as well as a “more” finished exercise room area leading to the oversized, heated two car garage. The property offers beautiful stone walls, blue stone walks and patios, a gunite in-ground pool, specimen and perennial plantings, and is fenced for deer. The barn has a multitude of uses from a home for horses to a wonderful recreation space or potential studio. There is an adjacent fenced turnout area and shed and raised garden beds to grow your own vegetables. The current owners have an estimate in place for a solar energy system, which would use a portion of the barn roof facing away from the house, that is estimated to pay itself off in approximately four years. It would then generate enough positive cash flow to pay a majority of the property taxes and provide free electric.
Also available for rent: $4000 p/mo. Call Tom Heyl for details.
