About This Home
An architectural masterpiece on the Bernardsville Mountain is set on 5+ manicured acres. Acclaimed architect Peter Dorne designed this exceptional dwelling in 2012; it features a separate pool house with a state-of-the-art squash court and adjacent sun-filled conservatory. The gracious interior offers six bedroom suites, one of them a well-appointed two-bedroom apartment, seven full baths and two powder rooms. Bespoke design elements include hickory wood flooring, ornate fireplaces, Charles Edwards lighting fixtures, modern Waterworks baths, extensive built-ins, exquisite millwork, French doors and an elevator. This brick and stone manor is surrounded by exceptional masonry work, bluestone terraces, porte cochere front entrance, mature trees, open lawns and colorful gardens, making it a quintessential country home. Privately sited at the end of a cul de sac where it shares a rear border with the Somerset Hills Country Club, it's just minutes from Bernardsville's lively village. Audio recording on premises.
