Description
The magnificent Somerset Hills panoramas and incredible sunrise views from this stunning elevated vantage point are rare. Architecture rendered in stone, complete with turrets and towers, lends a sense of whimsy to the Craigmore estate. Over 12,000 square-feet of living space is arranged on three formal floors, befitting the baronial lifestyle of former owner Charles Engelhard Sr. The floor plan flows easily from one breathtaking space to the next. Highlights of the layout include 7 fireplaces, flooring of oak in select rooms, high ceilings, and multiple sets of french doors opening to view-filled bluestone and grass terraces. There is a sunken conservatory overlooking stunning countryside vistas, a welcoming center island kitchen connecting to the breakfast and family rooms, and a partially finished basement with a temperature-controlled wine cellar and two insulated storage rooms. On the second floor's flexible layout, six bedrooms include a primary suite wing. Originally utilized for staff members, the third floor is currently arranged as two wings. One wing provides an oversized office and bedroom with full bath; the other a den, office, studio and two full baths plus an expansive recreation or exercise space. An elevator services the 1st & 2nd firs. Stone terraces and patios step down to a heated pool with fountains, a koi pond and gardens, all providing a perfect venue for warm weather entertaining. In the front there is a stone wall enclosed courtyard with fountain.
