City chic meets Hunterdon horse country with this classic center hall Colonial. Located in the sought-after Holland Ridge community in Holland Township, this traditional home with brick façade adorned with detailed molding sited on over 3+ acres offers views in every direction. Dramatic in both size and scope, this stately custom built home features 14 rooms, 4 bedroom, 4 full and 1 half baths within its grandly scaled 5800 square foot floor plan and an additional living area in the partially finished lower level. The grounds are characterized by paver hardscapes, groves of mature trees, manicured perennial beds, and lush green lawns.
Enter through the double doors into the vaulted foyer flanked by formal living and dining room complete with crown and chair molding, arched windows, and oak floors.

The family room is the center of the house with soaring ceilings and a raised brick hearth wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is adjacent to the family room and is just one part of a previous addition. This oversized gourmet kitchen evokes European memories with imported porcelain tile, rich dark cabinets adorned with large corbels, professional appliances, and dual sinks with touch less faucets.
