Welcome to 5 Gates Place in Wayne, New Jersey, a striking four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath luxury residence completely reimagined by award-winning interior designer Vanessa Deleon. Privately positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, this distinctive home blends classic architecture with bold, highly curated interiors, resort-style outdoor living, and a scenic natural backdrop.

A dramatic two-story entrance foyer introduces Vanessa Deleon’s signature design vision through a sophisticated black-and-white palette, custom finishes, statement lighting, rich hardwood floors, and unexpected artistic details. The formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace framed by a textured floor-to-ceiling surround, while the banquet-sized dining room offers custom wall paneling, sculptural lighting, and an elegant setting for formal entertaining.

The designer office, currently configured as an intimate private bar and lounge, is one of the home’s most memorable spaces. Created under the direction of award-winning interior designer Vanessa Deleon, it features richly textured walls, illuminated shelving, custom cabinetry, a library ladder, and carefully selected decorative finishes that give the room a distinctive boutique-hotel atmosphere.

At the center of the home, the spacious eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops, a large center island with seating, extensive white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, multiple chandeliers, and views toward the backyard and pool. The kitchen opens naturally to the family room, creating a connected layout for everyday living and entertaining. A powder room, laundry room, mudroom, and direct access to the two-car garage complete the main level.

An open staircase leads to the second floor, where the expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat. The bedroom features a tray ceiling, designer lighting, custom window treatments, and a refined neutral palette. An impressive dressing area includes two extensively customized closets, dramatic black cabinetry, integrated lighting, mirrored storage, display shelving, and a spiral staircase connecting the wardrobe spaces. The renovated primary bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, contemporary fixtures, and a clean, spa-inspired design.

Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, each with generous closet storage, while a full hallway bathroom completes the upper level. Throughout the residence, Vanessa Deleon’s award-winning interior design brings cohesion to every room through custom millwork, specialty wall treatments, designer lighting, artistic accents, and a consistent sense of drama and individuality.

The fully finished lower level significantly expands the home’s living space with a large recreation area designed for gatherings, a dedicated theater with tiered seating, a second kitchen, a full bathroom, storage, and utility space. A whimsical under-stair playroom adds a creative feature for younger residents, while the flexible layout can also accommodate a gym, guest area, home office, or extended household needs.

Outside, the private backyard is designed for resort-style living. A built-in heated swimming pool anchors the property, surrounded by expansive paver patios, mature landscaping, outdoor lighting, and multiple areas for dining and relaxation. The covered outdoor living space features ceiling fans, a television, a large dining area, and a built-in barbecue and bar setup. A separate fire-table seating area creates another inviting setting for evening gatherings, while the landscaped grounds provide privacy and a polished presentation.
