Short Hills, New Jersey
The Residence
Overview
7,919 Square Feet of Quiet Coastal Luxury
86 Minnisink Road — The Sagapanack at Short Hills — is a newly constructed estate shaped by the tradition of the great American shingle-style house. Soft Nu Cedar shingles, Beachwood Mosaic stone, warm oak millwork, and layered natural textures create a residence that is elegant, composed, airy, and quietly confident. Three full floors of living span an grand main level, a private second floor, and a fully finished lower level with resort amenities.
Exterior
Shingle, Stone & Resort Living
