Colonial

Only 23 miles outside Manhattan in prestigious Short Hills, NJ, an extraordinary opportunity has reached the market for the first time in decades. This stately 1928 center hall colonial stands majestically on over 3.32 level acres. It is a timeless beauty ready for its next steward to make it shine. The 7,000 square foot, eight-bedroom, six-and-one half-bath brick and cedar-clad and ivy-covered estate was built with fine craftsmanship and is replete with architectural detail. Expansive rooms are enhanced with large windows, dentil crown moldings, wood-paneled walls and paneled arched doorways for unparalleled elegance. Mature trees surround the sprawling and picturesque grounds to create a serene retreat, while the courtyard and multiple slate patios allow for entertaining large or intimate gatherings. It's an exquisite property that offers enough space for expansion while maintaining its private advantage. A short distance to town and NJ Transit Direct's train line, it ensures easy access to NYC, Newark Airport, and a quick drive to beaches or the mountains. Short Hills boasts one of the nation's best public school districts as well as top private school options.
