Custom-built in 1993 by its sole owner for entertaining, this 5-bed, 6-full & 2-half-bath estate sits on 1+ acre in the top-rated Franklin Lakes schools, behind a circular driveway, center paver walk, and an oversized 3-car garage with brick on three sides. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bath (1 main level, 4 upstairs). 4 fireplaces: great room, living room, primary suite, and basement family room (stone). A two-story foyer with grand staircase leads to a great room with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, palladian windows, built-in cabinetry, a 2-story fireplace, and French doors to a new, maintenance-free deck (roof 1 yr old). Chef's white kitchen offers an island, eat-in nook, and walk-in + butler's pantry. A second staircase leads through a mudroom landing (bench, cubbies, coat closet, powder room, garage access) and on to the kitchen. The primary suite has a front bump-out, walk-in + second closet, an in-floor heated bath with soaking tub, bidet, and its own fireplace, plus a sitting room/office with private balcony. A custom cherry-trimmed study features a coffered wood ceiling. The finished, furnished walk-out lower level has its own stone-fireplace family room, garage entry, 2 storage areas, concealed plumbing for a future kitchen, radon system, sump pump, and a 6th full bath beside a gym/office (egress window) with potential for a 6th guest suite. 100% hardwood floors, recently refinished. 5 zones of A/C, 11 zones of heat.
