The home’s main entrance opens into a spacious foyer and living room, with the formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and open concept living areas to the back.

Double glass doors encourage free flow between the interior and exterior bluestone patio with expansive entertaining space. A flat backyard is framed with an outdoor fieldstone fireplace.

Situated on tree-lined Lenape Trail, the home’s custom exterior blends old with new.

A two-car driveway with custom stained cedar garage doors frames the .46-acre property with an expansive bluestone patio for entertaining and a private backyard equipped with underground irrigation. Bedrooms and baths boast vaulted ceilings and custom dormers with 7-inch crown and base molding paired with signature Bennett detailing like specialty doors (with bronze oil rubbed fixtures), soaking tubs, rain showers and honed white marble. All kitchen appliances are stainless steel—including a 48-inch Wolf eight-burner gas range/oven, a 42-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a 24-inch Sub-Zero wine fridge.

At only 2.4 square miles, the borough, with an old-fashioned Main Street lined with mom-and-pop shops, is highly walkable. But those venturing downtown on foot may need to say “excuse me” a few times: In good weather, sidewalks are dotted with strollers, including the double-wide variety. For commuters, the property is ideally situated just minutes from the Chatham train station providing direct access to Manhattan — just a 45-minute ride to New York City’s Penn Station.New Jersey Transit trains run from Chatham to New York Penn Station, a ride of around 45 minutes; trains that change in Newark can take longer. Chatham is about 25 miles northwest of Lower Manhattan, a drive of around 45 minutes, traffic permitting, via Interstate 78 and the Holland Tunnel. The School District of Chatham consists of six schools: three for prekindergarten through third grade, one for fourth and fifth grades, one middle school and one high school. The schools are consistently ranked in the state’s top public schools.
