Description
Set in the heart of Mountain Lakes, this early Hapgood home blends architectural heritage with thoughtful expansion, preserving the character and craftsmanship of its era. Rich chestnut millwork, beam ceilings, and parquet floors anchor the interiors, while the covered front porch offers timeless curb appeal. The living room centers around a classic brick fireplace, creating a warm gathering space, and the formal dining room reflects the same architectural detail in an elegant setting for entertaining. A beautifully designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large breakfast bar opens to a striking family room with soaring skylit ceilings, abundant natural light, fireplace, and sliders to the rear deck, ideal for everyday living and hosting. A private library provides a quiet retreat, while the sun-filled sunroom with its own fireplace and porch access adds flexibility and charm. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by an additional full bath. The bright primary suite features a bay window with built-in bench seating, a walk-in closet, and private en suite bath. A full-height attic offers substantial storage and adaptable space. The detached heated two-car garage includes a finished loft with half bath suited for office, studio, or workspace. A whole-house generator ensures year-round comfort and reliability, combining classic architecture with modern functionality in one of Mountain Lakes' most desirable neighborhoods.
