Description
Sublime Brick Front Colonial at The Summit
The Summit in Basking Ridge is an established neighborhood of traditional and contemporary homes set along quiet, winding streets. Amid this premier collection of luxury residences is an updated brick front Colonial that effortlessly supports multi-generational living. Arranged on three finished levels, the beautifully detailed 3,800-plus square-foot home offers six bedrooms and five full baths plus an amazing finished lower level with guest suite. A huge rear deck with shade gazebo overlooks 0.66-acre of open and wooded property. Extensive hardscapes and colorful landscaping surround this classic residence in the heart of the Somerset Hills.
Approached by a paver drive to a paver stone turnaround and parking court, the home’s stunning architectural lines hint at the elegance inside. Double doors with leaded glass inserts reveal the granite-floored foyer featuring a staircase to the upper and lower levels as well as sightlines into some of the primary gathering spaces.
Flanking the foyer are formal living and dining rooms, each fitted with contrast bordered hardwood floors and extensive millwork. The living room is anchored by a raised hearth brick fireplace and adjacent to a home office tucked behind a set of French doors, which can easily serve as a first floor bedroom with near-by full bath. Ideally sited for entertaining, the banquet-sized dining room offers a pass-through window from the chef’s kitchen.
Highlights of the epicurean-inspired kitchen include a center island with breakfast bar seating, cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, granite flooring and a granite-topped dining peninsula overlooking the sun-splashed breakfast room and step-down family room. Spanning the rear of the home, the windowed conservatory/breakfast room also contains a spacious sitting area and French sliding glass doors to the deck. In the vaulted ceiling family room, distinctive design features such as skylights, hardwood floors, wall sconces and a raised hearth floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace lend character to this inviting space.
Upstairs, a sophisticated master suite lined in crown moldings adjoins a skylit master bath featuring a platform soaking tub, clear glass door shower and granite-topped double sink vanity. Three more spacious bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, share the updated full bath.
The up-to-the minute design of the finished walk-out lower level creates an entertainment-friendly area with generous living and gathering rooms. There is a stylish wet/bar kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator and icemaker, a coffered ceiling dining area, a media room accented in stacked stone with large-screen television, game room and music room. The private guest suite adjoining a full, updated bath is ideal for an extended family living arrangement. There is an additional light-filled carpeted bedroom also with double closets and dressing area.
Basking Ridge is located in Bernards Township, an area known for its peaceful scenery and luxurious estate homes as well as proximity to major roadways and Midtown Direct train service to Manhattan. Excellent public and private schools, outstanding recreation, world class shopping and fine restaurants define this sought-after part of the state.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWonderful. School is great, all staff (this includes the nice office and kitchen staff) that I have dealt with are warm and caring, everything is done to create a great atmosphere for learning. Kids are generally so proud to attend this school. From my experience, they value the diversity in all, kindness to all and respect to peers. Teamwork experiences both in and out of the classroom are really great at this lower level, I have to give them a lot of credit. Lets give a Hoot and give the Cedar Hill Salute! As an Oak Street grad from many (many)years ago, I was a little sad my kids were going to Cedar Hill, but I am now a very proud golden owl! All of the elementary schools are really exceptional in this town. And during COVID, I was very impressed by the surveys they did and how quickly they got things together to get the work done. It was proof the CHS team and the bernards township school system really has their act together to begin with.Parent Review5y ago
