A HOMAGE TO CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE

“This extraordinary estate personifies a timeless grandeur...�

At the highest point in Essex County sits the magnificent 3.8 acre gated, 24,000 sq ft, private elegant chateau, offering panoramic vistas of New York City. This extraordinary estate personifies a timeless grandeur, bringing together profound luxury and intimate craftsmanship. The result is a warm, inviting sense of home.

Tucked in the heart of a cul-de-sac, entry to the chateau is protected by massive wrought-iron gates.

The limestone residence embodies a strong sense of Greco-Roman influences. The use of Corinthian columns, a massive fountain, sculptures, Greek keys above the scalloped arched mullion glass windows and a multitude of architectural elements prove this to be a legendary home. Bonneted style dormers just further the idea of the creative genius that went into every detail. The carved mahogany front doors have custom copper/bronze fixtures and beckon opening.

Very secluded and secure, boasting eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and four half bathrooms, the estate can safely accommodate royalty.

Opening the door one finds a soaring entryway with an elaborate double marble staircase, framing the 6 | REAL EXCLUSIVE | GetRealExclusive.com

music hall in the distance. Gold accents throughout the foyer play off the immense gold chandelier set between the staircases.

To the right is the formal dining room and a solarium, its wall and ceiling made of glass. Off to the left is the living room, containing one of the estates five fireplaces, and the chateau’s upstairs bar. The rooms are awash in natural light streaming through French doors and windows, and all afford views of the New York City skyline.

Downstairs is fully equipped gym, yoga studio, sauna and steam-room, the latter equipped with heated seats. After freshening in the a spa bath, you can visit the in-house Irish pub and entertainment area or enjoy your personal movie theater, sinking into one of its 12 luxurious leather recliners. When the movie ends, you exit the theater and climb a grandiose marble staircase, open the French doors and step onto the terrace, and enjoy the views.

The kitchen is a cook’s dream kitchen. Done in cherry and granite, the focal point is a large floating island perfect for mingling and enjoying the fruits of friendship and entertaining.

It is no surprise it is fully equipped with commercial grade appliances and specialized storage for all of your functional cooking service needs.

Among the long list of amenities at the chateau are murals on the ceilings and walls, his and her offices, several terraces, security cameras in every room, and a private wing in the chateau for live-in help. This wing contains two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a very large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and stone floors.

Upstairs is the master bedroom featuring a hand painted ceiling and magnificent fireplace. The owner’s suite has the requisite his and hers bathrooms. Hers features a large round soaking tub, shower and expansive vanity area, while his features a shower and man-sized vanity area. It’s no surprise that all are done with the best materials and master craftsmanship in detail and design. The balance of the floor opens to the first floor and contains 5 large ensuite bedrooms.

Outdoors one finds a deck with fire pit, an expansive swimming pool and hot tub complete with a pool house containing two bathrooms and a kitchen and professional tennis courts. All once again capturing the majestic Manhattan skyline.

Asking the owner, Elita Kane, what she best likes about the estate she responds, “It really depends on the time of day or time of year. You can meditate by the koi pond, entertain at the Irish bar, enjoy the fire pit. Your options here are endless.

It’s all about the experience.”

Although there are other homes on Laura Drive, you have no sense of them from this unbelievably quiet and private estate and none has this home’s sensational view overlooking the Watchung Mountains and Manhattan skyline. The locals claim Cedar Grove has Norman Rockwell charm. Here, this Rockwellian charm meets the grandeur of the utmost lifestyle of the Greco Roman inspired Chateau, a true homage to classical architecture; this home is the feeling of magnificence.
