2 Calais Rd., Mendham, NJ 07945

Welcome to 2 Calais Rd, an exquisite residence in the heart of Mendham, NJ, where timeless elegance and modern functionality seamlessly converge. This home is a masterpiece of design, boasting luxurious features and thoughtful details that cater to every aspect of comfortable living. This 4 bedroom (plus Office), 3.1 Bath Deck House (custom home) is the picture of privacy, craftsmanship and stunning nature views — the kind typically reserved for off-the-beaten path retreats. The open, airy design gives the feeling of bringing the outside inside, while a spacious in-ground pool, contemporary deck, and a truly divine sun porch make both settings equally inviting.

Step into the grandeur of the two-story Foyer the moment you enter, you're greeted by an atmosphere of sophistication and style. The Great Room, a moniker insufficient in conveying its magnificence, serves as the heart of the home, with much of the downstairs and upper floor bedrooms offering a bird’s eye look at its treetop views. With a sight like that to show off, it’s no wonder this home was tailor made for entertaining. Host holiday gatherings in the sprawling, patio-accessible Dining Room, treat guests to heartfelt toasts and libations in the handsome Bar Room, or retire to the wood-laden Recreation Room for a game or two.

The heart of the home lies in the gourmet Chef’s Kitchen, accessed through retractable French doors. Revel in the luxury of a large marble-topped prep space/island, and stainless steel appliances. A Breakfast Nook provides a cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee. A practical Mudroom-type space adjacent to the Kitchen provides the functionality needed for everyday living. The built-in storage space in this area ensures a clutter-free living space, while easy garage access adds an extra layer of practicality.

The Kitchen seamlessly opens up to the Living Room, and provides access to the stunning Dining Room with gorgeous backyard views, creating a cohesive living space perfect for both intimate meals and grand gatherings.

This home is designed with your convenience in mind. A newly-painted Powder Room, and a strategically located Laundry Room, near the second floor access round out the First Level.

Ready to retire for the evening? Ascend to the Second Level, where a world of luxurious comfort and stunning design awaits. As you step onto the new carpeting of the Second Level landing, you're greeted by a sun-drenched hallway that opens into a gallery, offering breathtaking views of the Foyer and the Great Room below. This space is more than just a hallway; it’s a welcoming bridge to the serenity of the bedrooms and the artistry of the entire home. The Primary Suite is the epitome of opulence. Featuring two generously-appointed walk-in closets, wrap-around balcony access, and an en suite bathroom with large shower, soaking tub and newly-upgraded flooring, this suite exudes luxury from every corner. Exposed beam ceilings add a touch of rustic charm, and unobstructed views of the backyard create a sense of serenity and seclusion. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are a harmonious blend of comfort and style with ample closet space. Bedroom 4 is a sanctuary of its own with a large walk-in closet with ample storage that is complemented by an en suite full bath, complete with a jacuzzi tub/shower and a window overlooking the lush backyard. A hidden gem, formerly a Second Level Laundry Room, converted to a Walk-In Closet serves as an additional storage room. When it’s time to get productive, head over to the Office and enjoy panoramic views of the Great Room below, creating an inspiring work environment. A convenient Hallway Bath rounds out the Second Level.

And there’s more! This lower level isn't just a basement; it’s a canvas waiting for your personal touch. It’s where your vision meets reality, where your aspirations shape the space according to your lifestyle. Embrace the opportunity to transform this unfinished area into a sanctuary uniquely tailored to your preferences.
