142 Deer Run, Watchung, NJ, 07069
About This Home
Perched majestically atop the Watchung Hills in a remarkably quiet and serene neighborhood, this California-inspired masterpiece offers a rare fusion of architectural brilliance and breathtaking, panoramic vistas. Floor-to-ceiling glass and soaring cathedral ceilings invite the Manhattan skyline and the rolling New Jersey landscape into every room, creating an ever-changing gallery of light and color. The home's versatile layout features a luxurious first-floor master bedroom suite alongside a sophisticated second-floor suite, both thoughtfully refined with a master bath shower and powder room newly renovated in 2024. From the chef's kitchen and dramatic open-concept living spaces to the walk-out lower level with its entertainment space and sauna, every inch is designed for an elevated lifestyle. Outside, a stately circular driveway lined with cherry blossoms leads to a 3-car garage and a wraparound deck that feels suspended above the world all just 45 minutes from Manhattan and moments from top-rated schools.
