Description

This enchanting custom home in Harding Township was designed by noted New Jersey architect James Timpson. Known as one of the most influential American designers of his generation, Timpson gained much of his insight about fine architecture while studying under Frank Lloyd Wright. Built in 1969, this imaginative home reflects the architect’s unique vision as it artfully combines conventional and modern forms. The result is a spacious, sun-filled layout brimming with charm and character. Noteworthy amenities include flooring of marble, parquet wood, hardwood and tile; recessed lighting; a separate sleeping wing on the main floor; a custom-created granite kitchen; spacious gathering areas; and a second story featuring additional bedrooms, a leisure room and studio/home office with balcony overlooking the rear yard. Oversized windows and glass doors frame the countryside views and fill the rooms with natural light. Set on picturesque rolling acreage at the end of a quiet cul de sac, surroundings include mature trees, manicured hedgerows, colorful gardens, and a paver patio overlooking the sweeping green lawns and peaceful pond. Inside, Timpson’s hallmark style is a common thread that weaves its way from one room to another, from the generous use of classic molding to the many wonderful built-ins found throughout the home. Fireplaces provide a welcoming focal point in the living room, den and dining area in the kitchen. As is so typical in a home of Timpson design, the master bedroom and a guest suite are housed in a separate wing on the first floor, granting a feeling of seclusion and quiet privacy. Additional bedrooms on the second story are joined by a full bath, leisure room and studio/office space with sink and refrigerator. This thoughtful layout contributes greatly to the overall flow of the home, making everyday living measurably more comfortable and enjoyable. A full complement of mechanical workings serve this impressive home including multiple zones of heat and air conditioning, an extensive security system, high speed Internet and cable wiring and underground sprinklers. Professionally landscaping is evidenced throughout the property, coming immediately into view as the home is approached by its paved circular entry drive. Harding Township is located in historic Morris County, where rolling hills and woodlands are crisscrossed with bridle paths and stately manor homes. A convenient 40-minute commute to Manhattan and easy access to major corporate centers in New Jersey are further reasons for the township’s strong appeal with residents who appreciate the area’s highly-rated public and private schools and world-class shopping minutes from home.
