The result is a perfect blend of the Victorian and Arts and Crafts eras. From the wrap-around porch and turret that spans all four stories, to the extensive woodwork and detail that distinguishes this epic home.

The walkout basement, with thick fieldstone walls, a wet bar, and huge wood burning fireplace offers rustic charm and is another fabulous gathering space with two private entrances allowing access from either the driveway, or nearer the pool for entertaining ease. Village life and commuting options are a dream as the home is located close to all downtown Suffern has to offer such as quaint shops, fabulous restaurants, and public transportation.
