90 Whittredge Road, Summit, New Jersey

This stately center hall Georgian Colonial presides over a half-acre property nestled in one of Summit’s prime Northside neighborhoods.

The elegance and pleasing symmetry of its dignified solid brick exterior, fronted with bluestone walkway and lush surrounds, offer the promise of what awaits inside: a truly loved and special home that will serve as witness and keeper of treasured memories yet-to-be-made for what will be only the third owner in the house’s history.

A mere few steps into its front entrance are all that is needed for 90 Whittredge Road to reveal its remarkable character. The gracious reception foyer, adorned with elaborate crown moldings and wide fluted entries, is defined by a true center bridal staircase cascading from the second floor—at once elegantly setting the tone for sumptuous gatherings, while comfortingly beckoning its fortunate family home once again after a long day at work or school.

A gas log fireplace with decorative mantel sits prominently at the center of the large-scale living room, enhanced with oversized windows and dentil crown moldings. French doors open to a delightful sunroom that accesses a spacious 675-square foot bluestone patio embellished with brick lantern topped stanchions that oversee a secluded lush lawn surrounded by mature shade trees and privacy plantings.

The banquet-sized formal dining room features a focal gas log

fireplace that creates a warm ambient glow, and is flanked by twin

classically arched china cabinets, along with French doors that join

the sunroom. A well-appointed butler’s pantry with wet bar, 42-bottle

wine cooler and glass-front cabinetry connects the dining room to

the kitchen for ease of service, while an elegant guest powder room

is located nearby.

At the heart of the home are an open-concept kitchen, breakfast room, and great room,

beautifully designed with today’s comfortable lifestyle in mind. Rich cherry custom cabinetry

with dentil crown moldings adorns the kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line appliances and

built-in desk. The sunlit breakfast room accesses the patio for extended dining al fresco,

and the stunning great room just steps up from the kitchen is poised beneath a dramatic

cherry coffered cathedral ceiling. Its wood-burning fireplace is anchored at the base of an

impressive central floor-to-ceiling wall of paneled cherry wood flanked by a custom cherry

media center with surround sound system on either side. Oversized windows on two sides

and classic twin ocular windows allow light to pour into the room.

A fully equipped first-floor laundry room with laundry chute from the second floor adds

convenience. A handsome first-floor library is resplendent with walls of custom built-ins and

gas log fireplace, wired for Wi-Fi and two phone lines, adding to the home’s sophistication

and ambience of quiet respite.

The second floor is open and airy, with a Palladian

window that illuminates a sitting area and landing

that overlook the foyer below, with front and back

staircases to the first floor. Abundant storage space,

including three linen closets, a custom-fitted closet,

cedar closet and pull-down stairs to fully floored attic

storage can be found in the second-floor hallway.

Tastefully appointed bedrooms, each with hardwood

floors, deep and/or walk-in custom closets, enjoy

private bath access. Two bedrooms are joined by a

Jack and Jill bath with tub shower; another is an

ensuite with stall shower.

The romantic master bedroom suite

features the home’s fifth fireplace, a

reading/dressing room with a bank of

closets, and a large walk-in custom-

fitted dressing closet with windows

on two sides. French doors lead to

a luxurious master bath dressed in

exquisite marble that features dual

vanities, deep jetted tub and an

oversized frameless shower.

The finished lower level recreation and game/exercise

rooms offer added space for leisure activities,

relaxation, and play. The space also includes a full

workshop, storage and utility rooms, and a restroom.

Attractive extras include an underground sprinkler

system, security system, intercom system, three-

zone air conditioning, four-zone heating, thick slate

roof with oversized gutters and copper downspouts,

and much more.
