55 South Drive

One of a kind custom addition and renovation just completed in 2023 to create this 4725 SF beauty! This home North facing home is perched in a serene setting on over half an acre with seasonal water views yet just under a mile from NJTP Exit 9 and close to the bus to NYC. Let's start in the kitchen which is over 30' long and is highlighted by a soaring ceiling, skylights, and a wall of windows looking out on the property plus 2 sets of casement windows and a sliding door for abundant light. Cabinetry is plentiful including a 10' center island with breakfast bar. In the kitchen you will also enjoy a Kohler farmhouse sink, bonus prep sink and the luxury of GE Cafe appliances - 36 gas range / oven, electric wall oven / microwave, DW, French door refrigerator and an under the counter beverage center. The step down family room is open to the kitchen and can also be accessed directly from the foyer plus a mud room leads out to the 3 car garage. The living room, dining room and a flex space between them have an open floor plan spanning the entire front to back of the home. Tucked away at the far end of the first floor, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life is a work from home space, full bathroom and an ample size bedroom with a full wall closet. This area could easily be used to give privacy for multi-generational living. Upstairs continues to wow with a sitting area at the top of the stairs featuring 9'7 ceilings in front of a tremendous radius topped window - a perfect spot for an oversized chair to curl up and read in. The primary bedroom suite is 25' x 15' with a tray ceiling plus a 16' long walk-in closet and a spa like bathroom with oversize freestanding tub with floor mounted filler, 7'+ long and extra wide custom shower with herringbone tiled floor, corner benches, rainfall head plus shower heads at both ends. Upstairs you will also find a junior suite with its own full bathroom, then 2 more tremendous bedrooms which share use of a hallway bathroom and there is one of the largest laundry rooms you have ever seen that even has another linen closet in it plus a laundry sink and room to add cabinets with a counter for folding clothes. The 3 car garage is pre-wired for an electric car charger and has pull-down steps to a fully floored attic for storage. 1st & 2nd floor have 4 wide red oak floors with a satin finish. Other features include 5 panel doors (solid doors for BRs and hallway baths), sound control insulation around bathrooms, 3 RUUD HVAC systems & 2 water heaters. On the exterior you have upgraded double 5 siding, cedar impressions accents, white Azek wrapping the front windows, stone veneer on the foundation, covered front porch, black garage doors, Pella windows, GAF Timberline HD roof and a paver front walkway / driveway apron.
