Sun-filled and east-facing, this distinguished brick and clapboard Colonial with hardwood flooring on first and second level, sits on a level .69-acre lot in a private, serene setting in the desirable Sherbrooke neighborhood. This four bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home offers 4,575 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. A dramatic two-story foyer opens to a soaring two-story family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, filling the home with natural light throughout the day. Privacy and ease define the rare first-floor primary suite, a feature discerning buyers actively seek. The ensuite bath includes a custom-built sauna. The kitchen offers generous counter space, a center island, and flows naturally between formal and informal areas, equally suited to quiet mornings and large gatherings. Completing the main level are a formal living room, dining room, private office, mudroom, and first-floor laundry. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms share a full bath. A versatile bonus room with its own dedicated staircase to the first floor adapts readily as a fifth bedroom, playroom, or private workspace. The home’s systems include newer furnaces and one newer AC unit (2021). Generous and level, the property offers valued space for outdoor living and recreation. A home of this scale, configuration, and condition rarely comes to market. All this, close to major transportation and within the nationally ranked Basking Ridge school system.
