Property Description
Nestled in the prestigious enclave of Rumson, NJ, lies this magnificent estate which offers an unparalleled blend of timeless elegance, tranquility, privacy and modern conveniences. Situated on 3.34 acres, this property and home is a stunning combination of architectural details, luxurious amenities and meticulously landscaped grounds.
As you approach the estate, a grand driveway lined w/ mature trees and flowering shrubs welcomes you w/ open arms. The scent of freshly-cut grass mingles w/ the gentle fragrance of the many varieties of flowers, creating an atmosphere of serenity and calm.
Upon entering the home, you are immediately captivated by the gracious foyer and the breathtaking views of the English garden through the flagstone solarium, setting the stage for the beauty that awaits both inside and out. To the right, a spacious living room beckons, bathed in soft sunlight streaming through oversized windows. A wood-burning fireplace invites you to curl up with a book on chilly evenings, while French doors open onto a sunroom overlooking the expansive lawn, woodland garden and waterfront.
The heart of the home lies in the gourmet kitchen, where modern amenities blend seamlessly with old-world charm. Custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, two center islands, a dry pantry and a convenient wet bar create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Adjacent, an elegant dining room offers a place where one can entertain with grace, both formal and informal gatherings. The family room with wood burning fireplace is complimented by a wall of windows overlooking the manicured grounds.
The primary suite, a sanctuary of its own, offers a peaceful design of comfort and style with his and her bathrooms, custom dressing room and wardrobe closets and a versatile space that can serve as an office or sitting room. The second level is also complemented by six additional bedrooms and three full baths, ensuring ample space for family and guests.
Venturing outside, you are greeted by a true oasis of relaxation and entertainment. An intimate dining courtyard with built in grill and pergola provides the perfect setting for al fresco dinners under the stars. The heated saltwater pool and pool house complete with kitchenette, water closet and shower offer respite from the summer heat, while a nearby tennis court, complete with pickleball lines, promises hours of friendly competition. Additionally, there is the deep-water dock, which offers direct access to the tranquil waters of the Shrewsbury River. Whether you prefer a leisurely afternoon sail or an exhilarating day of watersports, the possibilities are endless.
The gardens of this residence are nothing short of spectacular, unfolding like a series of interconnected rooms, each with its own unique charm. Wrought iron gates lead you through these enchanting spaces, the outdoor kitchen garden, formal English garden, woodland garden and the sprawling back lawn.
As the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow over the estate, you realize that this is more than just a home - it is a rare blend of grandeur, serenity and luxury. As you bid farewell to the 1932 Rumson estate, you know that you are leaving behind not just a house, but a piece of history, a legacy to be cherished for generations to come.
