This $6.8 Million Ultra-Modern Residence in N.J. Is Filled With Eco-Friendly Tech
New Jersey is home to three residences designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (a fourth was relocated to the Crystal Bridges museum in Arkansas) that highlight a commitment to sustainability and connection to nature. An ultra-modern mansion in Franklin Hills prioritizes those eco-conscious incentives as well, with solar panels, a geothermal heating system, and a high-efficiency gas boiler back-up that produces fewer emissions for a smaller energy-use footprint. Attilio Adamo, Victoria Adamo, and Andrew Arrigo of Serhant hold the $6.7 million listing.
The gated five-bedroom residence presides over more than three acres on Penobscott Place. Surrounded by a nature preserve and just 30 minutes outside of New York City, the captivating home was built in 2015 with a boxy stucco façade positioned at the end of a curvy driveway. Next to the two-car garage is a customized carport complete with car washing equipment.

Beyond a towering front door made of glass, a linear fireplace heats up the great room opposite a series of floor-to-ceiling windows that keep the room flooded with natural light that spills over into the formal dining area thanks to the home’s open-plan layout. Heated floors lead into the nearby chef’s kitchen, where a massive stone-topped island anchors the space alongside an electric induction stovetop and convection ovens. Sliding doors open to a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen and alfresco dining space fronted by colorful landscape vistas.

Even better, more unobstructed sunset views are found from the second-floor landing, as well as from a spacious terrace and the primary suite. Like the great room, the primary bedroom has full-height walls of glass that slide open to a slender wraparound balcony overlooking the wooded grounds and infinity-edge saltwater pool. An egg-shaped freestanding tub pops against wood-paneled walls in the attached bath.
Other highlights include a Sonos sound system, a wine cellar, and a mirrored gym for breaking a sweat. The borough’s revered natural settings also double as a source of entertainment, from High Mountain Park’s hiking trails to Parson Pond Park’s baseball fields and tennis courts that make for good old-fashioned, analog fun.
