At this remarkable Bernardsville residence, noted architect James Timpson, along with the owners, created a home that embraces its beautiful surroundings, offering gracious living and entertaining spaces while giving art an extraordinary place within everyday life. Timpson’s steep rooflines and prominent chimneys establish an elegant presence, while a series of connected wings beneath cedar-shingled roofs allow a substantial home to sit comfortably within its landscape.Beautifully proportioned living and dining rooms transition to dramatic volumes conceived with art in mind. Expansive gallery walls allow large-scale works, while vaulted ceilings, strategically positioned skylights, and carefully considered natural light enhance the sense of openness. Perhaps most compelling is how naturally these gallery-like elements coexist with the warmth of the original home. The result is a residence with a rare duality: architecturally sophisticated enough to showcase an important collection, yet warm, inviting and beautifully suited to everyday living and entertaining. Mature trees, established gardens and lawns create a natural backdrop for outdoor sculptures or entertainment. Terraces extend the living areas into the landscape, while a free-form swimming pool is tucked amid the greenery. This extraordinary property allows privacy while enjoying proximity to award-winning schools, equestrian facilities, world-class golf courses, upscale shopping and dining, highways, and NJ Transit
