This stunning custom colonial-inspired home in Fairfield, New Jersey, incorporates a contemporary design layout with luxurious open spaces, perfect for family living. The columned main entrance is highlighted by arched wooden doors. Designed with a natural stone base, white clapboard siding, and diamond-patterned muntins along the first-floor windows, the facade is reminiscent of colonial style. The spectacular 2-story foyer leads to a stunning curved “Romeo and Juliet” balcony wrapped in wood-paneled walls.

Symmetry around the front door and diamond-pattern muntins in the top sash of the windows are classic, and an oversized arched front door that follows the curvature of the curved portico provides an updated feel to colonial-style architecture. The natural stone base, white shingles, a copper roof, and white-on-white complete this classic look. 

The centerpiece of the open plan custom kitchen is the oversized island and custom hood.  The traditional-style kitchen was designed to include additional storage space, with illuminated walk-in pantries, hutch cabinets with wire-mesh doors, and lots of drawer storage. An additional L-shaped staircase was constructed to create easy access to the second floor, and a small nook underneath the staircase was transformed into a small office space.

This thoughtful detail reinforces the home’s emphasis on livability, where thoughtful planning supports everyday routines.
