About This Home

As of November 2022

Builder's own luxurious lake front with rare views of hundreds of acres of preserved property!This custom home, built in 2016, is absolutely incredible.The stone front + mahogany doorway provide a glimpse of what's to come. The two story foyer is dramatic.The ceiling is 18 feet high + from the crown moldings to the custom oak staircase it's very impressive.High end finishes are in abundance with hardwood floors, crown moldings + LED lighting in every room.The fireplace is one of the focal points with custom cabinetry + stacked stone wall finishes.In addition to surround sound there's a $20,000 Bose professionally installed sound system for entertainment throughout the house, deck, patio + even the garage area.Perhaps the most remarkable focal point is the view.It's magnificent.This is one of a few homes with the rare view of hundreds of acres of preserved land that is off limits to development.This is by far the largest section of undeveloped property anywhere on Lake Hopatcong + to look across the water and see one of Mother Nature's finest creations is simply breathtaking.The kitchen is impressive too with cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances + a huge center island with a built-in microwave + wine cooler.The kitchen + dining room have beautiful views of the water + Pella doors open to the deck.The master suite is extraordinary with an oversize walk-in closet + a luxurious bath.There are 3 guest bedrooms with spacious closets.On the ground level is a family room
