First: Nestled aloft the Watchung Hills, there is a newly constructed home that truly defines old world craftsmanship. Just over 6,000 square feet, this rare, timber-framed home was designed and built by true artisans who dedicated their passion for natural aesthetics and fused it with modern amenities to transform this home into a magnificent work of art. A masterpiece in itself, this home possesses immeasurable charm from the hand-crafted woodwork and exposed timber beams to the custom copper accents and exposed brick walls. Upon entering the home, the rounded entrance foyer seems to embrace guests as the custom concrete and wood floor lead the way to a wide-open living space. Stucco venecianno walls and turret ceilings add to this fusion of art, luxury, comfort and function. The richly stained concrete floor is accented by contrasting wood and river rock inlays and oversized, imported privacy windows frame the two acres of forest and greenery that surround the property. In the center of this great room, a two-sided stone fireplace towers over 20 feet and seems to disappear into the timber posts and beams ceiling.
