40 GUINEA HOLLOW RD Lebanon, NJ 08833

Charmingly Elegant Circa 1803. Relaxing Sophistication Paired with Country Charm. The antique nature of "Belle Glade" has been thoughtfully retained throughout extensive renovations recently undertaken, with the subtle grace of Julie Aronson Design. Upon entering glass French doors from the rocking chair front porch, the warmth of the home is quickly realized in the preserved detailing & smart updates implemented. A generously sized living room, w/case framed wood burning fireplace & views overlooking Rockaway Creek, welcomes guests at the right of the entry. Random width antique flooring running through much of the home, seamlessly ties the unique floor plan together, leading towards the nicely scaled dining room w/an adjoining custom crafted butler's pantry. Broadly spanning the rear of the home is an elegantly understated kitchen, designed so as to leave a true chef wanting for nothing. Crisp custom cabinetry w/gleaming quartz countertops & porcelain farmsink are uniquely balanced by a polished concrete floor. Fully outfitted w/professional quality built-in S/S appliances this gourmet's delight is a heart-of-the-home retreat, offering a hub for gracious entertaining. Leading out to the private, stone walled patio surrounded by a naturalized landscape the generous installations of windows brighten not just the kitchen, but the entire home, w/natural light opening the interior spaces to where the outdoors truly feels like another series of rooms. The 1st & 2nd floor master suites are of equal measure, each with their own spa like en-suite full baths & ample closet space. The main floor's master also has direct access to its own step-down office/workout room, a unique vestibule & the over-sized 2 car garage - while the upstairs suite could continue onto the adjoining 3rd bedroom with peaked ceilings. This 3rd bedroom is its own escape, benefiting from a private secondary staircase. Sited at the edge of a meadow surrounded by mature forest the property benefits from 2 spacious garden sheds & the surprise of a fully independent guest cottage studio. This cottage, replete with its own full bath, kitchenette & approx 500 SF of living space, has 10' ceilings & a floored, stand-up attic ? making this an ideal artist's studio or discrete oasis from the day. Additional attributes of the main house are an oversized main floor laundry (previously a fourth bedroom), main floor powder room & fully updated mechanicals.
