About This Home

This exceptional 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful upgrades, and enduring quality. Originally built by renowned Short Hills builder George Lauber as his personal residence, the home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years. The beautifully appointed kitchen, features semi-custom, inset cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, and a full suite of high-end stainless steel appliances. Hand-blown Juliska pendant lighting and designer finishes add warmth and sophistication. The first floor bathrooms are equally refined with Italian marble countertops and premium Hansgrohe fixtures. Throughout the home, quality and detail are evident, from the Pella windows with individual wood mullions (all windows have been replaced) to the beautiful oak floors throughout. A spacious first-floor laundry room adds convenience, while the finished basement - with direct access to the over-sized garage - offers a playroom/recreation space. The unfinished attic space on the 2nd floor is already outfitted with gas and electric, which provides potential for future expansion. Set on a flat, private, fenced property, the outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring classic cedar shake siding (stained for durability), a Kwanza cherry tree (blooms each spring), and a charming herb garden with mint, sage, thyme, chives, oregano, and lavender. This is a home designed to be lived in and loved for years to come.
