Bear Brook Builders of Distinction in the Tri-State Area



	,


	Built by one of New Jersey's most prominent builders for his own family to enjoy, inimitable design ad quality are the trademarks of of this exquisite home. The turnabout paver driveway features a bronze statue centerpiece and leads to the solid Walnut front door with custom sidelights. The main level features a two-and-a-half story, radiant heat, marble floor foyer with romantic staircase, and massive wrought-iron chandelier anchored to the exposed beams above. The threshold leading to the massive great room is framed by beautifully crafted mouldings on either side and above by the balcony hallway which overlooks both the foyer and great room. The focal point is a three-story fireplace, inspired by the one in cowboy legend Buffalo Bill's historic home. A keen ability to translate a playful love of history into a pleasing modern aesthetic enabled the owner/builder to create this space, which is accented by a massive bureau, double wrought-iron chandeliers, and set on gorgeous Australian Cypress floors. He also created an impressive, 18th-century Williamsburg estate-inspired walled-in garden, off the living room.



Also on the main floor is the gourmet kitchen and breakfast area with masonry indoor BBQ, 6-burner stove with griddle, 2 ovens, icemaker, and wine cooler — all by Viking; SubZero double-door refrigerator, 2 Miele dishwashers, custom center island and granite counter tops, large pantry, and access to the deck overlooking the mountains, river, and meadow. The butler's pantry offers more storage and granite countertops. A spectacular banquet dining room boasts spectacular oak floor with inlaid borders and raised paneling. There is also a den/office with masonry fireplace, access to walled-in garden, and an oak floor with teak strip. The guest suite is also on the main level and features a full bath with radiant head and Porcelanosa tile. This floor is rounded out by a mud room, laundry, and 3-car garage with access to the 2nd floor loft/office.

		The crown jewel of the second floor is the master suite with spectacular mouldings, gas fireplace, and three large walk-in closets with special fireproof nooks; it includes as vestibule-style sitting area and a gallant master bath with double vanities, Jacuzzi, radiant head marble floor, steam shower, and separate make-up area. Adjoining the master is the aforementioned loft/office (access via the garage). Three additional bedrooms, one a luxurious suite with private bathroom, and the other two with Jack 'n Jill bathroom, are also on this level. A magnificent 1,000-square-foot suite holds court on the third floor; it could be used as a teen or bedroom suite. It offers spectacular views and two additional storage rooms.

		The remarkable lower level features a trifecta of entertainment perfection: a turn of the century saloon, a family room with a spectacular stonework/masonry fireplace currently used as a billiards parlor, and home theater. There is also a guest/maid's room, walk-out access, security room, ladies' full bath and men's half bath with urinal.
