55 Bellevue AvenueRumson, NJ 07760

Perfectly positioned on one of Rumson's most coveted streets, this magnificent residence on Bellevue Avenue arrives announced by a distinguished stone wall that runs along the property's Bellevue frontage -- a timeless architectural detail that sets the tone before you ever step inside. Offering timeless elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unmatched lifestyle, this home sits just steps from the renowned Rumson Country Day School. From the moment you arrive, an oversized two-story foyer anchored by a grand fireplace sets the tone for what lies ahead. Spanning an impressive 6,500 square feet and offering 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 3 half baths, this classic home masterfully balances formal sophistication with everyday livability. The breathtaking hand-painted dining room is a true conversation piece, featuring a stunning mural depicting Saratoga Race Course in the 1800s -- an extraordinary work of art that transforms every dinner into an experience. The living room's beamed ceilings radiate warmth and character, while a spacious TV room and a sun room -- perfectly suited as a second dining room or casual breakfast room -- round out the main living spaces. Two generously sized offices with custom built-ins cater to today's work-from-home lifestyle, and the expansive chef's kitchen, outfitted with premium Wolf appliances, opens seamlessly to the outdoors. Perhaps the crown jewel of this extraordinary property is the outdoor living experience. A sweeping travertine patio overlooks a heated pool with an attached hot tub, complemented by a built-in outdoor grilling station with ample buffet space and a refrigerator -- everything you need to entertain effortlessly under the open sky. The beautifully landscaped 1.87-acre grounds are adorned with mature plantings and trees, offering privacy and natural beauty in every season. This is outdoor living at its absolute finest. And then there is the basement. Nearly 3,000 square feet unto itself, thoughtfully designed around a spectacular custom horse barn theme that pays homage to the rich equestrian heritage of the region -- a nod to the Saratoga mural just floors above. It must be seen to be truly appreciated. The space features a custom built-in home theater, a stunning copper bar, a billiards lounge, a dedicated poker room, a wine cellar, and a private gym. Additional appointments include a 2.5-car garage, a distinguished slate roof with copper gutters, and three fireplaces throughout. All of this, just minutes from the pristine beaches of the Jersey Shore, the high-speed luxury ferry to Manhattan, and Rumson's award-winning schools.
