Team Exclusive, Short Hills

A PICTURE PERFECT PROPERTY IN THE HEART OF SOUGHT AFTER HISTORIC OLD SHORT HILLS!

Presenting 8 Park Place, a picturesque New England Center Hall Colonial home, perfectly located in the heart of sought after historic Old Short Hills. Meticulously built in 1963 and situated on nearly 1/2 an acre of stunning property, the house has 5 bedrooms, 4.2 bath, and a series of charming and engaging rooms well suited for entertaining and relaxing.

Choose from two inviting front entrances; the formal front entrance leads to a large
foyer with 2 closets for coats and shoes either side of the door and direct access to a spacious living room with decorative fireplace and elegant dining room. Dark wood floors begin here and continue throughout. Entering the porched front door leads to a slate floored mudroom with convenient access to a double garage and a large sun filled kitchen/breakfast area that overlooks a blue stone patio garden. The kitchen has cherry wood cabinetry, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances.

A swing door opens to the formal dining room and a small hallway leads to a guest bathroom and a family room characterized by rustic wood beams and a cozy fireplace. Located beyond the living room is a quiet and serene home office with access to the garden.

Main stairs and a back staircase provide access to the upper and lower levels. On the second level there are five bedrooms with natural light, area rugged floors, and large closets. Accessed via the main stairs, the primary ensuite bedroom is especially quiet with a custom walk-in-closet and a sizeable bath featuring glass door shower and a jacuzzi tub. The back staircase leads to a large ensuite guest room with characterful eaves and slanted ceilings, and plenty of closet space.

The expansive finished lower level is home to a stylish and adaptable recreation room for quiet relaxation or entertaining and a large convenient laundry room; both have an abundance of storage space.

At the back of the house, the mudroom, family room and office open onto a blue stone paved patio which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and barbequing. Fencing, mature trees and shrubs border the outdoor space and create an enhanced sense of privacy;
although still conveniently located to Millburn’s highly rated schools, Short Hills train station, a vibrant downtown, and more!
