About This Home

Exceptional Fully Renovated Colonial in Summer Hill – Luxury Upgrades Throughout Stunning colonial home meticulously renovated by the owner with an uncompromising focus on quality, durability, and modern luxury. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully upgraded using high-end materials and craftsmanship rarely found in the neighborhood. The beautifully redesigned kitchen features premium custom cabinetry, upgraded luxury appliances, modern finishes, and an open-concept feel perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. High-end luxury vinyl flooring flows seamlessly throughout the entire home, offering both elegance and durability. One of the home’s most impressive features is the professionally waterproofed basement system, completed by one of the most respected waterproofing companies in the Newark area. The entire basement perimeter and crawl space were fully protected with an extensive waterproofing and moisture management system. Basement walls and crawl spaces were wrapped with moisture barriers for added long-term protection and peace of mind. The finished basement was constructed with metal framing and mold-resistant materials throughout — intentionally avoiding organic or wood-based materials wherever possible. A specialized subfloor moisture barrier and airflow system was installed beneath the luxury vinyl flooring to help maintain a consistently dry environment year-round. The basement ceiling was intentionally left open for easy future access, inspections, and simplified maintenance of plumbing and electrical systems. Additional basement features include central heating and air conditioning for improved circulation and comfort, along with a commercial-grade smart dehumidifier system designed to maintain optimal humidity levels while allowing remote phone monitoring and notifications. Additional upgrades include: High-end solid wood interior doors throughout the entire home Upgraded HVAC system designed to efficiently service the full house New windows and shutters Premium self-cleaning exterior paint technology that helps maintain the home’s appearance during rainfall Epoxy-coated garage flooring WiFi-enabled smart garage door opener with phone access and controls Countless additional improvements and custom upgrades throughout the property Situated in the desirable Summer Hill neighborhood, this home stands out for the level of renovation, preventative upgrades, and long-term investment made into the property. A rare opportunity to own a truly move-in-ready home where quality, comfort, and attention to detail take center stage.
