6 Sunset Dr., Summit, NJ 07901

Welcome to 6 Sunset Drive in Summit’s coveted Franklin School neighborhood! Sitting majestically on a park-like piece of property, encased by shade trees and bursting with blooming perennials, you’ll find this spectacular 5 Bedroom 2.1 Bath historic home. With architectural magnificence at every turn, character unlike anything else on the market, and an exceptional location close to New Providence Train Station (or park in Summit), Summit Tennis Club, Clearwater Swim Club, King’s, Towne Deli and downtown Summit restaurants and shopping, 6 Sunset Drive is just waiting to be called home.

The striking, covered front entrance is graced by the original Entry Door flanked by original sidelites and transom. Enter the spacious and elegant Entry Foyer and prepare to be overwhelmed by the stunning craftsmanship and timeless architectural details including magnificent chestnut moldings with a warm gray finish, an inviting bench and a coffered ceiling. The Living Room will take your breath away with another stunning coffered ceiling and a magnificent fireplace for cozy nights by the fire. Off of the Living Room, don’t miss the Family Room teeming with natural light and the perfect spot to take in idyllic garden views. Ready to host a dinner party? You simply cannot find a better venue than the Formal Dining Room. A stately chestnut original pocket door, a bay of windows, yet another coffered ceiling and a pretty brushed gold chandelier are enchanting. The Dining Room flows easily into the Butler’s Pantry with its original cabinetry providing plenty of storage for dishes and barware. The Kitchen includes wood cabinetry, garden views and opens up to a Mud Room Area and rear staircase. Rounding out the First Floor is a Half Bath/Laundry Closet.

Equally fantastic as the architectural magnificence of the house is its splendid park-like property. Enjoy complete privacy and tranquility as you take in the blooming perennials, a Brick Patio, and tiered stone walls.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, the original, regal staircase, where chestnut moldings abound, leads you to a second floor with four bedrooms, hardwood floors, original doors and original hardware. Pretty details are all around the Primary Bedroom where the sunlight pours in. As is typical in an early 1900s home, each bedroom connects to the next creating a chain of beautiful spaces. An Office and Bedroom 2 could easily be combined with the Primary to create a large Primary Suite. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are extra unique as they each contain French doors leading to a dreamy Sun Room. Two Full Hall Baths round out the Second Level. Take the staircase to the Third Level where you will find darling Bedroom 5 and plenty of Attic/Storage space.

And that’s not all! The Lower Level includes plenty of functional space with a Recreation Room, Pool Table Room, and multiple storage spaces.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to own an historic home with incredible character in one of Summit’s best neighborhoods. Close to all Summit has to offer, 6 Sunset Drive is an absolute dream!
