Nestled within the most coveted neighborhood in Short Hills, 43 Jefferson is a masterpiece of comfortable luxury, resting on a lush, secluded 1.14-acre estate. Completely transformed under the meticulous vision of renowned architect John James and crafted by the master builders at Vanco Construction, this exceptional residence is one of an elite few offering over 9000 square feet* of sun-drenched, above-ground living space, complemented by a lower level with a spectacular 2000 bottle wine cellar. Crafted with attention to every detail, this bespoke residence was thoughtfully designed to provide expansive, welcoming spaces while seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. With virtually uninterrupted views of the stunning backyard retreat from nearly every room, it invites a profound connection with nature. Impeccable finishes grace every corner, from the irreplaceable old-growth white oak flooring to the meticulously crafted millwork throughout all four floors. Guided by the discerning touch of acclaimed interior designer Donna Sirianni, each space epitomizes a harmonious blend of comfort and timeless sophistication.
Distinguished by its exceptional above-ground footprint, the home was completely gutted, reimagined and rebuilt to perfection in 2007 creating large comfortable spaces for all family activities to take advantage of the natural light that floods into the home. Whether gathering in the family room, sharing a meal in the dining room or unwinding in the expansive multi-zone bonus room, each space offers captivating views of the backyard sanctuary - one of the hallmarks of this remarkable home. A sprawling bluestone patio, accessible from every room in the rear of the home, surrounds the heated, 25-meter pool with spa and removable diving board. A stunning stacked stone outdoor fireplace and kitchen offer the epitome of outdoor entertainment. Flanking the pool and home on either side, sprawling level lawns offer space for recreation. Vibrant professional landscaping, including a myriad of flowering trees and bushes, provide a parade of color throughout the seasons. The property has a fully fenced perimeter - a rarity in Short Hills.
