The homeowners shifted and enlarged the rear of the house to create a peaceful space with earthy toned charcoal grey Oak base cabinets and shiny back painted white wall cabinetry. Six integrated gas burners from Netherland's Pitt Cooking were fitted into the island, with Gaggenau’s tappenyaki grille for a efficient and beautiful integrated cooking and serving area. Floor tile, Ceramica Gazzini Urban Style. Oven by Bosch; refrigerator by SubZero; range hood by Futuro Futuro, Microwave by Wolf; countertops by Caesarstone in Organic White; Charlie stools by CB2; Sink by Franke; Faucet by Groehe; pulls by Topex-- Decorative Hardware Round Stainless Steel Tube.

Front yard view: a renewed gray-paver driveway sweeps from the street to the garage, with low boxwood planting along the edge and a mature shade tree softening the foreground.

A Modern take on the Midcentury Split-Level plan. What a beautiful property perfectly suited for this full custom split level home! It was a lot of fun making this one work- very unique for the area.

Previously under-utilized and dark, the space under the stairs has been repourposed and opened up to create a mudroom for the family just off the garage.

This unified split-level home maintains the original layout of a split-level while retaining the appearance of a 2-story colonial. The trend of straying away from the split-level appearance has become a popular one among clients in Bergen County and all of Northern New Jersey. Typically addition to homes like this one include a full new level which acts as the entire master suite. Gable dormers and architectural elements disguise the home and make them unrecognizable as a split-level to most, while retaining an unique aesthetic.
