********************
Tasteful grandeur infused with elegance, beauty, comfort and a sense of tranquility and divine blessing describes this Mansion on a Hill.
Bright and airy, this home was designed and built by architect Henry Bacon of the Lincoln Memorial fame with soaring high ceilings, grand entry hall and magnificent stairs. It features corinthian columns, magnificent stained glass windows, elaborate moldings, solid rare woods, wide halls and very large rooms with solid tall doors and large windows. Everything is proportioned perfectly and built with the highest level of quality materials and artisan-ship, no longer available today at any price. The solid granite foundation and beautifully landscaped flat one acre grounds on a protected knoll top make this completely renovated home your castle, your comfort and blessed refuge from hectic modern life.
The first floor with its grand living and dining rooms, a conservatory, combined kitchen and family room, and a front to back entry hall, two powder rooms, a large library and an office, three fire-places and excellent traffic flow accommodates large scale entertainment or intimate gatherings perfectly. The second floor living quarters are spacious and comfortable, dividing into three wings--a five-room Masters' wing with two fireplaces, a three-room Junior Masters' wing with one fireplace, and a guest or in-law wing with its own kitchenette and laundry facility. The home is exceedingly well insulated to street noise, and exceptionally quiet. The granite basement has enough areas where a metal head band can be practicing without disturbing other parts of the house. The spacious attic has an Opel suite, and a wide open space that can be finished into a gym and an entertainment center.
This magnificent masterpiece is waiting to embrace your presence. Looking out from every room over a mature, elegant natural landscape with stately trees is a welcome escape from the City. Located within walking distance to town and train, a 25 minute car commute (40 minute by train) to Manhattan and a short 12 minute drive to Newark Liberty International Airport provides excellent access and convenience.
