These views continue along the hallway past a stunning full bath, laundry room, two bedrooms and into the primary suite. The generous owner's retreat spans from the front to the back of the home.

In the spa-like primary bath, heated floors, two 72-inch floating vanities, a free-standing Bain Ultra tub with aromatherapy option, a heated backplate, and effervescence therapy, plus a huge limestone shower with a built-in bench and a private commode are luxe touches.

The fourth bedroom offers a private bath with steam shower and a private entry. Completing the lower level is a home gym and two-and-one-half car garage. This distinctive residence overlooks a serene backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, yet is just one hour from New York City. Downtown Bernardsville has a charming village with fine dining, a seasonal Farmer's Market, independent shops and Midtown Direct train service. Centrally located in Somerset County, Bernardsville is a short drive from Interstates 78 and 287.
