authentic Martini Modern mid-century ranch
This authentic "Martini Modern" mid-century ranch in Bernardsville sits atop Round Top Road on three lush acres. Built in the 1950's but completely gut renovated in 2012, the California-style home seamlessly weaves modernist and contemporary design features, creating an extraordinary retreat characterized by breathtaking views. As you step into the spacious entry, it's impossible to miss the home's unmistakable indoor-outdoor connection, achieved through the wall of oversized windows and glass doors opening onto spacious patios, all overlooking three acres of marvelous countryside vistas. In addition to stunning window walls, the great room's architectural features include wood beamed ceilings and a massive concrete wood-burning fireplace. The heart of the home is a professionally-designed chef's kitchen. Luxurious NEFF cabinetry finished in olive wood and black matte metallic accents has stainless steel and glass inserts. Additional high-end design elements include a 10-foot island, full wall pantry with flush-mounted doors, side-by-side Viking ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and a classic mid-century modern range hood set before an eight-foot glass panel window which frames front property views and ushers in an abundance of natural light.Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious, step-down TV room with glass double doors connecting to the first of two patios with distant panoramas. These views continue along the hallway past a stunning full bath, laundry room, two bedrooms and into the primary suite. The generous owner's retreat spans from the front to the back of the home. Notable amenities include the unique mid-century modern wallpapered feature wall plucked from the series "Mad Men" itself and an enormous "SOHO style" closet with metal shelves. In the spa-like primary bath, heated floors, two 72-inch floating vanities, a free-standing Bain Ultra tub with aromatherapy option, a heated backplate, and effervescence therapy, plus a huge limestone shower with a built-in bench and a private commode are luxe touches.Situated near the great room is a half-wall of glass railing enclosing the tiger striped staircase to the lower level family room providing a wet bar, oversized sliding glass doors to the home's second view-filled patio and a fireplace clad in Terrazzo tile. The fourth bedroom offers a private bath with steam shower and a private entry. Completing the lower level is a home gym and two-and-one-half car garage. This distinctive residence overlooks a serene backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, yet is just one hour from New York City. Downtown Bernardsville has a charming village with fine dining, a seasonal Farmer's Market, independent shops and Midtown Direct train service. Centrally located in Somerset County, Bernardsville is a short drive from Interstates 78 and 287.
