Grand Stone Manor a Resplendent Country Property
An exceptional property at Sky View Estates in Franklin Township is available on either an open and wooded 7.34-acre parcel or a vast 55.1-acre piece of farmland-assessed land. Whichever acreage the buyer chooses, the grandly-styled manor on a private cul-de-sac street is a wonderful designer home filled with amazing details. Generous room sizes on three levels offer a total of 11,590 square feet of lavish living space which includes six bedrooms and six-and-one-half baths.
Architectural appointments throughout feature ornate millwork custom made specifically for the home, curved walls, tower ceiling heights, dramatic window walls and an open floor plan. The interior is fitted with cherry and mahogany hardwood, stone and marble floors, French doors, balcony overlooks, four fireplaces and an indoor lap pool/spa. Built with todays energy needs in mind, this home has Smart House technology for streamlined control of the mechanical workings.
The 18-room floor plan begins in a luxurious two-story foyer fitted with marble floors and a sweeping dual curved staircase that serves the upper and lower levels of the home. A balcony overlook on the second floor and a sparkling crystal chandelier impart a sense of opulence to the entry. Among the gathering spaces on the main floor are formal living and dining rooms combined in a grand salon with 20-foot ceilings, his and her mahogany-paneled libraries, a billiards room with wainscoting and a fireplace, and a family room anchored by a cherry-mantled fireplace. Many of these elegantly-appointed rooms have interior mahogany doors or French doors to bluestone terraces overlooking the pool and sweeping pastoral views.
A sumptuous gourmet kitchen has every imaginable amenity for meal preparation, while the adjoining breakfast room is ideal for casual meals. Cherry cabinetry is topped with granite counters and a tumbled marble backsplash, and a roomy center island is topped in beveled edge granite. Cherry-paneled appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator and freezer as well as a stainless steel Wolfe dual oven, Sharp microwave and convenient warming drawers.
A prime example of the architectural finesse in this home is a stunning arched hallway set under a barrel ceiling. Here, mahogany-paneled walls are enhanced by crown moldings with classic acanthus motifs, cove rope lighting, two chandeliers, wall sconces and marble tile flooring accented by a diamond-shape inlay. The main floor also contains a laundry room, mud room, formal powder room, full bath and guest bedroom with wet bar and walk-in closet.
Upstairs, the spacious master suite is bathed with natural light from a window wall and a sliding glass door to a balcony which takes in panoramic countryside views. This tray ceiling bedroom has an ornate raised panel gas fireplace and a glittering Schonbeck chandelier. A dressing room offers two walk-in closets with wardrobe organizers, a custom glazed maple vanity topped by a marble-clad sink and tumbled marble walls with ornate glazed maple accents. In the master bath, similar design features such as tumbled marble walls and double glazed maple vanities define the space. Steps lead to a jetted tub overlooking the far-reaching vistas, while an oversized tumbled marble steam shower with seat, separate commode and walk-in linen closet are further amenities.
Three additional bedrooms on the second floor each have a full, connecting bath. There is also a convenient laundry room serving the upstairs bedrooms.
A fully-finished lower level contains an incredible home theater with built-in seating, projection equipment and fiber
