E xtending back over 26 feet, and running the full depth of the house, this space is awash with light at all times of the day - from a large front picture window at one end to the French doors at the other.
Hardwood floors continue from the foyer into this room and are, in fact, an element that will be repeated throughout this home. Neutral tones are framed by dentil moulding, setting the stage for a wide array of tastes and furnishings.

Dream Kitchen with professional grade appliances
and custom-designed cobalt blue pillow tile!
K itchens are the hub of any home, and here there's a brightly colored, Beidemeier-inspired beauty. Guaranteed to satisfy any Top Chef contender, these high end appliances include a warmning drawer, a 6 burner cooktop, double drawer dishwashers, a trash compactor, a convection oven-microwave combo, a Miele wall over with Sabboth setting even, and a state of the art Jade professional-grade refridgerator!
Did we mention the fireplace in the eat-in area? Visible from both the family room and the kitchen, this remote controlled gas fireplace adds warmth, class and style!!
The Kitchen Reno
The kitchen used to be on the front of the house. I wanted to see my kids playing in the backyard, not watch the joggers passing by making me feel bad for not joining them!
Because we were putting the kitchen into a new space, we were able to keep both kitchens up and running until the new one was completely ready. It's not often you can pull that off, but when you can... it's sa-weet!

Newark Airport is a short 14 minute drive away!
Newark Liberty Airport is fast becoming the nation's busiest - it's an international hub and bloody annoying when you're trying to park!
