A message from Don Cleaver:

"This is among some of the most gorgeous homes our company has built over the years. During this one year construction project, we worked with the homeowners and interior decorators to make appropriate selections during every step of the selection process. We took special care to ensure that a large holly tree in the front of this house – which is one of the oldest in New Jersey – was not damaged."
