One of the most private estate settings on the Bernardsville Mountain was once part of the extensive Engelhard holdings. As the land drifts gently away from a private cul de sac it merges with a glorious wooded glen.The bridle trails are still marked as they meander along a stream and now serve as walking paths. In 1983 architect Al Bol designed a home that complemented this sublime property. Using fieldstone similar to that found in the circa 1897 pump house, now renovated and overlooking a small natural pond, the home is finished in natural materials like a wood roof and fieldstone siding. A large stone terrace crosses the rear of the house and wraps around a pool tucked out of sight. Landscape architect Brian Bosenberg designed the landscape which is beautifully integrated into its natural surroundings. Inside, the front entry opens into a two-story great room with a Palladian window wall overlooking the stone terrace.To the left, the kitchen with eating area is highlighted by a wall of stacked stone and a fireplace. A charming sun room adjoins.The 1st floor primary suite offers 2 full baths, walk-in closets and an adjacent office. Upstairs, there is a second primary bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath. This arrangement has worked well as a private cluster of rooms for guests. A finished, walkout lower level includes an expansive family/media room, a spacious exercise room, a delightful naturally-cooled wine cellar and a full bath. Sq ft per tax records.
