About This Home
Completely rebuilt and thoughtfully expanded, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers the feel of modern design and subtle mid-century influence. Set on a flat lot with a circular driveway in a highly convenient Short Hills location, the home was expanded and reconstructed from the ground up with a highly functional layout. A light-filled open main level features a seamless flow between kitchen, dining, and family room, highlighted by clean architectural lines, naturally finished hardwood floors, and a warm material palette. The kitchen gourmet wood cabinetry, white/black-featured CAF appliances, quartz countertops and a vertically stacked tile backsplash, opening to a spacious family room with a sleek linear fireplace and well-designed wine bar. The layout is designed for flexibility, with a first-floor bedroom and full bath ideal for guests or WFH. Upstairs, a dedicated en-suite bedroom set on its own level offers a versatile space well-suited for a guest suite, study, studio, or private workspace. Beyond that, the second floor includes two spacious bedrooms with a double-vanity hall bath, along with a primary suite featuring backyard views, walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with double vanities and an oversized shower. A finished lower level adds additional living space, while a wide deck extends outdoor enjoyment. Convenient to major routes, NJ Transit, and schools.
