About this home
Welcome to this spectacular 5,000 sq. ft. Historic Landmark residence in Newark's sought-after Forest Hill. Featured in House Beautiful, and restored by renowned designer Sasha Bikoff, this home seamlessly combines classic architecture with modern design across three expansive floors of living space. A stunning entrance hall sets the stage for elegant entertaining, while a large solarium, off the living room, fills the home with natural light. The chef's kitchen impresses with Miele appliances, a Blue Star range, steam oven, and Gaggenau refrigerator/freezer units. The thoughtful design continues with California Closets throughout, a powder room on the first floor, updated bathrooms, and a jaw dropping primary suite with walk-in closet, soaking tub, and steam shower. High-end upgrades include a Sonos in-ceiling sound system, custom brass sinks, Toto smart toilets, two fireplaces, and commercial-grade WiFi. Outdoors, enjoy private patios, a secluded backyard with lush landscaping and hydrangeas, and a custom sound system for gatherings. For quiet moments, retreat to the second-floor deck off the office/bedroom perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Across from Branch Brook Park and its iconic cherry blossoms, and just 40 minutes to NYC, this one-of-a-kind home offers elegance, comfort, and space to truly spread out.
