About this home

Situated on nearly an acre in Old Short Hills, this timeless fieldstone Colonial offers a rare balance of architectural significance and livability. From its classic facade to elegant proportions, the home invites you in with presence and warmth. Inside, a wide entry sets the tone. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows into a sunroom with three stone walls and its own fireplace, offering a year-round connection to the outdoors. Light fills the formal dining room through multiple exposures, while a coffered ceiling adds refinement. A butler's pantry opens to a large kitchen designed for both form and function, with custom cabinetry, professional appliances and a breakfast room framed by stone and windows. French doors open to a bluestone patio and a backyard with room for a pool. A vaulted family room with exposed beams brings volume and ease, while a private office, mudroom and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a quiet escape with a spa-like bath and a custom walk-in closet. Three more bedrooms include two with en suite baths and one with an office. The third level continues with three bedrooms, two full baths and a lounge with versatility. The lower level includes a recreation room, gym, walk-in wine cellar and powder room, adding flexibility to any lifestyle. With a new cedar shake roof and a setting just blocks from town and the train, this is the rare home that pairs tradition with possibility inside and out.
