Using architectural elements that call to mind the modern home designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, the exterior of this striking contemporary home in the borough of Bernardsville, New Jersey is characterized by wide overhanging eaves, sets of horizontally-placed windows and simple, clean lines. Numerous windows and sliding glass doors illuminate the floor plan with sunlight while providing an easy indoor-outdoor flow in this contemporary home.  An outstanding 17-room floor plan includes six bedroom suites with private baths and three powder rooms.

This impressive contemporary home is situated on two lots totaling 11 acres. The property is enhanced with established perennials and specimen trees which are protected by fencing.  An outdoor tennis court and an indoor pool are further amenities.

Like many contemporary home designs, the first floor offers the ease of single-story living in two separate wings. Dual mahogany doors reveal an entry foyer linking these private and public areas.

The public wing of this modern home features a step-down great room with three window walls and a towering fieldstone fireplace.  Opening from the foyer is a formal dining room leading to a chef’s kitchen.  Custom cabinets from Neff enhance the contemporary spirit of this appealing room, while a roomy pantry, laundry room and access to the four-car garage are nearby.  The kitchen is open to a family room, the perfect spot for casual gatherings. 

Also in the public wing—and a feature that sets this home apart– is an indoor Gunite swimming pool, a design element that lends a resort atmosphere to this delightful modern home.

On the opposite side of this contemporary home is the private wing, where five bedrooms each provide an adjoining full bath.  Among the bedrooms is a four-room master suite with his-and-hers baths and a comfortable sitting room.

Finished living space on the lower level includes the modern home’s second family room, an exercise room, bath with sauna, workshop, home office, craft room and wine room with a display and tasting area.  Finished and unfinished storage areas complete this level.

Bernardsville is one of central New Jersey’s most sought-after locations.  With a rich history, natural beauty and access to a network of local and interstate highways, the borough attracts residents who appreciate a convenient locale and rarified atmosphere.
