The Hillside Club is now pre-leasing
he Hillside Club, the new construction rental community ideally located in the heart of Livingston, is now offering leasing opportunities for early spring occupancy. Boasting a limited collection of luxurious one- and two-bedroom apartments, The Hillside Club introduces a much anticipated rental opportunity to one of New Jersey’s most desirable suburban areas. With so few apartments available and a robust waitlist, interested renters are encouraged to make an appointment now to reserve their new apartment before construction is completed this spring. “The Hillside Club is proud to deliver an upscale, maintenance-free rental lifestyle to an area that’s clearly thirsty for this type of residential opportunity,” said Jonathan Schwartz, executive vice president of BNE Real Estate Group. “With our compelling offer of beautiful brandnew residences, spectacular clubhouse
amenities, and a central location in one of New Jersey’s highest ranked school districts, renters are strongly encouraged to lock in their lease now to ensure that they don’t miss out.” BNE Real Estate Group, the developer of renowned for-sale communities such as The Pointe at Livingston and Vizcaya, in West Orange, constructed The Hillside Club with the same commitment to quality craftsmanship and superior design that the family owned firm has become recognized for. Renters who schedule an appointment to visit the community’s leasing office today can take advantage of this time-sensitive opportunity to pre-lease a variety of one- and two- bedroom layouts, with limited den and loft options available. With so few apartments available in the community and occupancy quickly approaching, inventory is expected to fly off the shelf. “This type of lifestyle opportunity
doesn’t come along every day, and considering the intensity of the local buzz, we expect the apartments at The Hillside Club to be extremely popular.” continued Schwartz. Monthly rents at The Hillside Club are currently starting from $2,495 for one-bedroom residences, ranging upwards of $4,995 for 1831-sq. ft. two-bedroom plus loft layouts. Regardless of home size, each apartment will boast condo-style finishes such as hardwood flooring in the living areas, plush carpeted bedrooms, nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows. High-efficiency washer/dryers are included within every home and abundant closet space is designed into each floor plan. Chef-inspired kitchens offer stone countertops, a subway tiled backsplash, pendant lighting and stainless steel appliances. Residents of the community will also enjoy modern clubhouse amenities, such as a state-of-the-art fitness studio,

Remaining Vizcaya residences expected to sell quickly
N
ew Jerseyans weary of snow shoveling and de-icing their cars are breathing a collective sigh of relief as spring emerges in the Garden State. At Vizcaya, the luxury gated community in West Orange, residents are also welcoming the incoming warm weather, but for an entirely different reason. Vizcaya comes alive in the spring, with numerous outdoor amenities, including manicured walking paths and a grand terrace that overlooks the hilltops of western Essex County. Winter is not an unpleasant season — residents enjoy covered parking and all snow removal is handled by the staff — but spring brings new life, new activities, and a beautiful landscape. It’s a combination that drove strong sales traffic to the community in 2014, leaving only the last few luxury townhomes and single-level residences available in the nearly sold out community. “Home buyers who want to throw their snow shovel in the trash for good and come enjoy the intimate, resort-like lifestyle we offer at Vizcaya still have several good options available, even as the inventory gets smaller by the day,” said Kristina Hedden, Vice President of Marketing at BNE Real Estate Group, the developer of Vizcaya. “Spring is a popular time to buy here, and we expect a lot of interest in the remaining townhome and condo-style layouts, so we are urging anyone who has their heart set on the highly-amenitized, service-oriented lifestyle Vizcaya is known for to act quickly to ensure their place in the community.” Vizcaya is a five-star residential community that graces a hilltop in scenic Western Essex County. Overlooking a canopy of trees, it stands out as one
of the most beautiful luxury communities in New Jersey. The main building, with its traditional stone façade and European-inspired architecture, serves as the centerpiece of the estate. Luxury townhomes, manicured gardens and landscaped walking paths surround the main building. “I first visited Vizcaya with a friend who was thinking about moving here, and once I saw the townhomes, I decided that this was the place for me,” said one Vizcaya resident. “I purchased one and I haven’t looked back. I rave about this place to anyone who will listen. No more aggravation or worry about maintaining a single-family home. I can travel and leave everything to the staff to take care of. I really enjoy my freedom living here at Vizcaya.” Priced from $799,990, the townhomes include three bedrooms, 3.5-baths and up to 3,955 square feet of multi-level living space. All of the homes boast chef-inspired kitchens with breakfast nook, expansive living rooms, formal dining rooms, and stunning, two-story entrance foyer. Comfortable bedrooms are highlighted by an exceptional master suite, featuring his and hers walk-in closets, a private sitting area, and a five-piece master bath with shower, separate soaking tub and dual sinks. Townhome buyers have the option of upgrading the lower level to a finished space ideal for entertainment and hobbies, such as a media room, game room, wine cellar or tasting room with wet bar. Elevators are available in select locations. Families appreciate the personal privacy and independence the townhomes offer each member of their household. Downsizing couples find the extra bedrooms and flexible layouts especially con-
venient for hosting guests. New residents enjoy having more free time, an amenity-rich lifestyle and less maintenance. In the main building, remaining single-level residences boast two to three bedrooms, 2 ½-3 baths and up to 2,617 square feet of living space, with only one remaining, priced at $1,437,990. Immediate closing dates are available. Popular amenities at Vizcaya, such as the sauna, steam, massage rooms, state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga/aerobics studio, tennis court and heated indoor and outdoor pools, provide residents a yearround vacation-like experience just steps from their front door. White glove services including complimentary valet parking, gated security and 24-hour concierge service enhance the lifestyle experience. The community is a short drive away from several gourmet restaurants, local shops, boutiques, parks and entertainment venues. The acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse and The Mall at Short Hills are both nearby. The South Mountain Reservation and Turtle Back Zoo are just around the corner. Recreational opportunities abound with municipal and county parks, private and public golf courses, and preserved natural woodlands found throughout the 12 mile town. Manhattan is conveniently located approximately 25 miles east, while New Jersey Transit rail stations are nearby in Millburn and South Orange. For more information or to schedule a tour, call 973-325-6712 or visit VizcayaNJ.com. The sales center is open daily by appointment from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week (closed on Thursday), and is located at 1 Metzger Drive, West Orange.

A
commitment to find homes for 20,000 adoptable dogs this year. Nothing compares to the warmth and comfort of being at home. But for many dogs across America, this feeling is foreign. According to The Humane Society, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter shelters each year. Plus, almost three million healthy shelter pets are not adopted annually, and only about 30 percent of pets in homes come from shelters or rescues. For over 100 years, Coldwell Banker has helped people find homes, and now our mission extends to man’s best friend. Because there’s nothing like coming home — especially when there’s a furry friend waiting on the other side of
the door — Coldwell Banker teamed up with Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website, to help 20,000 adoptable dogs find a loving home this year. Adopt-a-Pet.com currently has more than 15,000 shelters and rescues in its network, and it is thrilled to be partnering with Coldwell Banker. “We share Coldwell Banker’s view that nothing turns a house into a home more quickly than the addition of a loving pet,” said Abbie Moore, executive director of Adopt-a-Pet.com. “And we are so inspired by the desire of Coldwell Banker to launch this amazing program.” For more information on the “Homes for Dogs Project,” head to coldwellbanker.com/dogs.

&S Designer Flooring has been serving New Jersey homeowners for 26 years, the past 15 from their expansive Morristown showroom. The story of J&S and its owners Javid and Sima Hakakian, embodies the American dream. The couple, both of Iranian Jewish decent, migrated to the area shortly after the Iranian revolution and started their business from their small home. Today, J&S is comprised of a 20,000 sq. ft. showroom in the heart of Morristown, supported by a professional and experienced team of thirty plus employees. In addition, they operate a separate warehouse and an outlet store in Cedar Knolls. The seemingly infinite showroom features an unequaled selection of intricately woven Persian masterpieces, one of kind vegetable–dyed rugs, contemporary and transitional Tibetans, heirloom antiques, hardwood flooring, as well as complete range of carpeting, including the prestigious Stark line, for which J&S is an exclusive dealer in NJ. “People should come to see why our showroom has grown to be one of the country’s largest and finest,” says Javid. “The most common feedback we receive from people visiting our showroom is that they feel inspired and become excited about discovering so many options that they didn’t know existed. Just hearing that gives me satisfaction and makes all the hard work worthwhile.” Sima adds, “So many of our customers have become friends; and they started out just by coming in to look at the collection, and now they come to our home for holiday dinners.” “We feel so fortunate to have settled in such a wonderful community, and we are proud to have based both our business and our family in Morristown,” says Javid. Sima and Javid are both active in Jewish philanthropy and they have belonged to the Mount Freedom Jewish Center for over twenty years. The couple is also known for holding events at the store including seminars, charity functions, and book signings. “We are hands on in every project, regardless of the size,” he adds. “Our source of pride is not in the size of our showroom or the thousands of rugs and carpets in our inventory, but in our professional team and the care and attention that we provide to every single client, every day of the week. This has been and will continue to be the foundation of our business.” Vist J&S Designer Flooring at 12 Mount Kemble Ave. (202 South) in Morristown.

ith April just around the corner we are in the process of preparing our homes for Passover. The holiday requires much preparation and in depth cleaning. It is also a special time for family to gather and celebrate the holiday with beautiful rituals and special foods. While you take the time to prepare your home for the holiday, think about taking a step beyond the basic vacuuming and dusting that you typically do. For example, what’s in your front hall closet? When was the last time you emptied out every item in the closet including the shelf with the scarves, hats, gloves, flashlights, and umbrellas? When your guests arrive for the Seder, do you have any space or extra hangers to hang up their coats, or do you throw all of your guests’ coats on your bed? In order to make The Coat Closet Challenge productive, you need to dig down deep into your soul when you examine every article of clothing that you pull out from the closet. For example, let’s start with your winter coats. How many do you have? When was the last time you wore each of them? Do they bring you joy when you put them on? I was taught to purchase good quality classic clothing that lasts and does not go out of style. For those of you who know me, you have seen me in my Lands End coat in an awful/dull shade of blue (what was I thinking) that I’ve had for at least 20 years. I can’t kill the thing, but guess what? It keeps me warm and it’s my go-to coat when I am dressing casual. And did I mention that it’s machine washable? Even though I hate the color, it does stand out in a crowd and my husband is happy that I have one less item in basic black in the closet. Would I give it away? Not until it falls apart. Bottom line, I wear it and it keeps me warm. I remember loaning it to my niece during a trip to San Francisco and she commented about
how “cozy” it felt to wear. In the case of this particular coat, there are enough joyful reasons to keep it. Can you say that about every coat in your closet? Both my parents were products of the depression, so their mentality was to keep everything because some day the “bubble may burst.” I did not inherit that gene, for me less is truly more. I don’t keep an abundance of clothing; therefore cleaning out my front hall closet was an easy task. I ended up donating a few scarves and some pairs of gloves. I found umbrellas that were broken and hard to open so they got tossed. I am waiting to get a second shelf installed so that we can keep the hats separate from the gloves and scarves, but for now it works. And better yet, if you were to visit my home wearing a winter coat, I have room to hang it up in my front hall closet. You may read this and think to yourself, “It’s just a closet, what’s the big deal?” Well here is my take on it…how we maintain our home is a reflection of who we are. How do you want to present yourself? If you are feeling overwhelmed with clutter and too many visual distractions, it can detract from your ability to concentrate, be productive, and bottom line you don’t know what you have. So start small, pick a specific space in your home — and go for it! I am confident that you will feel great when you accomplish the de-cluttering process of just one space! And for goodness sakes - enjoy the holiday with your loved ones and let them know just how special they are to you. Give them each a big hug and tell them how much you love them. Please let me know if you take the coat closet challenge and how it worked for you. Happy Organizing! n Eileen Bergman is a Professional Organizer located in West Orange.
