Stunning "new construction" classic colonial ideally situated on nearly a half acre of level property in one of the most coveted areas of Old Short Hills. Completely gut renovated to perfection in 2020 and expanded in all the right places, this chic and sophisticated dream home is as close to new construction as you will find in this prime bucolic location. Modern and fresh, this residence boasts a stunning open first floor plan with a wonderful flow, offering truly modern living at its best. The formal rooms are gracious and grand while the heart of the home is equally impressive, comprised of an extraordinary gourmet kitchen, inviting breakfast room with banquette seating and expansive family room with French doors to a bluestone patio. A private office, powder room and laundry center with room for two washers/dryers complete the first level. Upstairs, a luxurious primary bedroom suite boasts a large custom walk-in closet and spa-like bath with custom two sink vanity, large soaking tub and exquisitely designed walk-in shower, with three additional bedrooms and an impressive two-room hall bath. The lower level is a welcomed surprise offering high ceilings and a sizable rec room, powder room and oversized two-car garage. The rear property is a rare find in Short Hills: flat, expansive and private with all new specimen plantings. Just a 5-minute stroll to both the Short Hills train station and nationally top rated Glenwood elementary school.
