NORTH CALDWELL, NJ, JUNE 12, 2014 – “We’re moving aren’t we,”
was the first comment Wendy Fetterly said to her husband, Bob, when they saw
the model homes at Hidden Ridge at North Caldwell. They, like dozens of buyers,
have fallen in love at first sight with the spacious, four-bedroom
colonial-style attached homes with elevator option, finished basement, and
breathtaking views all within a half hour from NYC. According to Coldwell Banker New Homes, one
of the nation’s largest, award winning residential brokerage firms, the
collection’s designs are perfect for many lifestyle needs whether it be empty
nesters, young professionals, a new family or growing family. Each building is
comprised of only two or three homes providing owners with 3,372 to more than
3,600 square feet of finely crafted space. Currently, the community is more
than 50 percent sold with homes underway to accommodate various delivery dates.
Prices start from $799,000.
“While we were not looking for a new home, our friends
invited us to tour the model at Hidden Ridge and we were so impressed by the
spaciousness of the home,” explains Wendy. “We love the walls of windows to
bring in lots of natural light and the high-end standard features such as real
hardwood floors, beautiful decorative moldings, and granite countertops and
stainless steel appliances in our center island kitchen. The three fireplaces,
the built-ins and the fine finishes were more than we expected.”
Bob adds, “We chose a model with an elevator so we can
accommodate our older family members and ourselves as we age in place.” The Fetterlys also enjoy the finished
basement, which they affectionately call their “cave” to entertain visiting
friends and their grandchildren.
Unlike the Fetterlys, Nisha and Meelin Patel were in the
process of searching for a larger home to accommodate their growing family.
“With a new baby and parents who visit, we realized we needed more space and
were looking for a while,” explains Meelin. “When a friend recommended Hidden
Ridge, we immediately fell in love with the multiple levels. With the finished
basement and unfinished bonus space, we have four levels of space to suit our
needs now and give us room to grow in the future.”
“We really like the luxury standard features like hardwood
floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen,”
adds Nisha.
One feature both families rave about is the owner’s suite
with a fireplace, oversized walk-in closet and spa-inspired tiled bath with
soaking tub, dual marble topped vanities, and frameless glass enclosed shower.
Both appreciate the additional bedrooms with full bath and laundry upstairs.
Other features include energy efficient two zone heating and air conditioning,
recessed lighting, and a two-car garage.
Both families agree, the community setting with its top of
the hill views and professional landscaping is enchanting, but the location in
northern NJ cannot be beat. The Fetterlys work in Verona which is just minutes
away, and have family in the area. They also like the convenience of being so
close to the Garden State Parkway to take them down the Jersey Shore this
summer. The Patels enjoy an easy commute via Route 46 and being able to be in
NYC within 30 minutes by bus or train.
“We also love the area for its excellent and top rated
schools,” notes Nisha. “We are so happy that the town’s school buses stop right
in front of the community, too. It’s going to be so convenient for us.”
According to New Homes Specialist Lorraine Hurlbut of
Coldwell Banker in Caldwell, “North Caldwell is continually voted one of the
‘best places to live’ by state and local media. Not only does the community
offer excellent schools, easy access to major highways and an array of boutique
and convenient shopping, but it also provides residents with the innate beauty
of established, tree lined neighborhoods and small town charm. Residents are
within three minutes of trains to NYC and the Willow Brook Mall which offers a
park and ride.”
