Architecturally re-designed, this exceptional colonial is the ideal combination of beautiful sun-drenched spaces and a convenient floorplan surrounded by a stunning, private yard!  An updated Chef’s Kitchen is the heart of the home and opens a Breakfast Room with a cathedral ceiling and backyard views of the Patio with a gorgeous Koi Pond, outdoor Kitchen and firepit!  Adjacent to the Kitchen, the Family Room is large enough to seat everyone around the fireplace and flows via French Doors to the Living Room and Conservatory for easy entertaining.  Lined in 3 walls of windows overlooking the lush and private Yard, the Conservatory is sure to be a cherished spot whether a home office, playroom, exercise room, or quiet retreat! Rounding out the convenience of the 1st floor is the Laundry area, expanded Mud Room, Powder Room, and a back staircase to the 2nd floor.  Upstairs, there are 5 large bedrooms and 3 full baths.  The Master Suite with a Sitting Room focused on a fireplace and Bath to rival any spa, is just the spot to start the day on the right foot.  The 5th Bedroom also offers a sitting room with a full Bath adjacent for an ideal In-law/Au-pair suite or it can be the perfect additional Home Office and Exercise Room. Unlike many homes in the area, this 5th Bedroom has been architecturally designed to open directly into the main 2nd floor hallway and is conveniently at the top of the back stairs for easy access if desired. Hardwood floors and elegant moldings trim the house.  The Basement is also finished to include multiple recreational/game room areas along with a half Bath and plenty of storage space. 

As good as a vacation, you will never need to leave home with this backyard!  Tree-lined for privacy and offering an expansive Patio with an outdoor Kitchen, firepit, and gorgeous Koi Pond in addition to plenty of play yard; not even COVID can stop the fun here!  Nestled in one of Basking Ridge’s most sought after neighborhoods, this home is close to trains, schools, commute routes and shopping while also offering access to public schools ranked amongst the very top in the nation.
