Welcome to an inviting and expansive Nantucket-style residence with light-filled spaces that encourage relaxing and fun times with family and friends. This Somerset home, originally constructed in 1910 and recently transformed blends historic charm with modern luxury.

Guests are greeted at a covered front porch and then lead into a foyer with soaring ceilings and a sweeping staircase. The main level offers formal entertaining spaces including a living room with gas fireplace flanked by custom bookcases and a dining room overlooking the park. The more casual section of the main level includes a breakfast room, powder room, family room with custom shelving and gas fireplace, study, and screened-in porch. The light-filled chef’s kitchen functions as the heart of the home with professional grade appliances, quartz countertops with bar seating, space for gathering, and a back staircase. The upper level provides a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a marble bath with double vanity. Currently, the house features five bedrooms with a large home office/study and five full baths. Throughout the home one finds hardwood floors, recessed lighting, zoned heating and air conditioning.
