Property Description

Welcome to Central Villas, a refined new-construction townhome community in the heart of New Providence, NJ — built by Summit General Construction for buyers who want low-maintenance living without giving up space, storage, or style. Each end-unit residence spans approximately 4,450 square feet across four finished levels, with 4 bedrooms, a versatile 1st-floor office or optional 5th bedroom, and 5 full bathrooms throughout.

Stained oak flooring runs through the first, second, and third floors, paired with recessed lighting and modern trim and moldings throughout. The open-concept main level centers on a gourmet eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a waterfall-edge center island with breakfast bar seating — finished with a full suite of premium Thermador appliances, including the refrigerator, gas oven/range, microwave, and dishwasher, plus an LG washer and dryer. A pantry sits just off the garage entry alongside a dedicated coat closet. The living room’s gas fireplace anchors the open floor plan, which flows into the dining area and out to a private paver-block patio — true indoor-outdoor living.

Second Floor: Bedrooms, Primary Suite & Laundry

Upstairs, the second floor holds three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary suite with a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired primary bath featuring a soaking tub, a frameless glass shower door, and designer vanities. A dedicated second-floor laundry room, linen closet, and additional storage complete the level.

Third Floor: A Private Retreat

The top floor offers a sunlit, private fourth bedroom with its own full bathroom, soaring ceilings, and generous storage or office space — a true retreat, ideal for guests, remote work, or quiet space away from the rest of the home.

Finished Lower Level

The finished lower level adds real living space rather than just storage: porcelain tile flooring, decorative wall paneling, a full bathroom, and a modern electric fireplace insert make it easy to picture as a media lounge, recreation room, or home gym.

Garage, Systems & Construction

Each home includes a 2-car garage with a 12-foot ceiling, an automatic garage door opener, and an EV charger. Central Villas is built on a wood-frame construction with an insulated Zip Wall exterior sheathing system, energy-efficient direct-vent heating and cooling split across two units and three zones, 200-amp electrical service, a sump pump with battery backup, and a dedicated sewage pump for the basement bathroom. Cat 6 wiring runs through the office, living room, primary bedroom, basement, and attic, and each home features an 8-foot insulated, smart keyless entry door — all backed by a 10-year builder warranty.
