who appreciate attention to detail, comforts of ease, and effortlessness living. This home will speak so beautifully to you that you, your family, and your guests will never want for a moment of joyful living. Indeed, the Estate's 7,700+ square feet spread over its three levels, plus the more than 2,000 square feet of outdoor patio space on this 5+ acre, gently manicured, country land makes a subtle but unmistakable statement about the occupants. The outdoor kitchen with BBQ, fireplace, and fire pit offers more than enough space with the adjacent patio to entertain a group of friends or host a family or business event. Understated simplicity, built with the finest materials and finishes, rich in detail, you will experience perfection at every turn. The Griffon Estate had its renaissance in 2019, when the home was completely remodeled. Its 3 levels deliver 6 Bedrooms Suites and 6 Bathrooms, with 2 of the Suites delivering total privacy via their side-entrance access, making them the perfect spaces for guests, an au pair, or multi-generational living options. The 4 fireplaces deliver ambiance and seasonal warmth and comfort throughout the home. Of course, the home also delivers oversized storage and 4 laundry areas with conveniently located mechanical service rooms and forward-thinking installations. The main level boasts an open floor design, perfect for entertaining with the state-of-the-art experiences you expect. The first-class gourmet open kitchen offers every convenience with the finest integrated appliances. Fill the elegant temperature-controlled wine and spirit cabinets to enhance your gustatory and entertainment experiences in the elegant yet easily accessible dining area. Flowing from the kitchen is the high-ceiling great room, with a stunning stone fireplace and adjoining entertainment center bar and media space, complete with its own ice machine, dishwasher, and full bar sink. Spectacular design elements and grand living carry on to the upper level where you will find a large primary suite with sitting room in one wing and the other bedrooms in the other wing on this floor. The magnificent resort-style primary bedroom and bathroom features a large elegant open-concept space, with its beautiful, imported marble that will refresh and inspire you. Double-sided fireplace, separate vanities, steam room, stainless steel jetted tub, luxurious steam shower with heat control, and full body sprayers are just some of the upgrades. The bespoke wardrobe area promises to elevate every-day dressing to a special occasion. As you make your way to the lower level, you will find a large, finished recreation/family space. Here, you may enjoy a game of billiards or after-dinner cigar and cordials with friends in your wine room. A full wellness center for your fitness needs includes a state-of-the-art exercise room and custom teak sauna, perfect for the health-conscious family. The separate enclosed space with full access to the private stairs leading outside is an excellent choice for a guest retreat or private office. The Griffon Estate is a perfectly designed vibrant space in which to indulge your senses, share experiences with family and friends, build your dreams, and create lasting memories. Lit beautifully by beams of natural light, this design celebrates the sweeping views of the entire property through floor to-ceiling walls of windows and French doors. Imported white marble floors glow throughout the main level, with marble floors extending even into the basement. The country-style quiet surroundings will make you feel like you are miles away from anyone, yet your living experience is enhanced by your proximity to Route 18, the Garden State Parkway, Route 79, NJ Transit, world-class dining, highly desirable schools, luxury lifestyle events, local farms and their fresh offerings, peaceful reservoirs, winding paths, and, of course, the Jersey Shore beaches. This Estate is to be experienced, not merely shown. This is the time to make it your own.
