Commission approves Hobart Avenue addition after design adjustments
Summary
The Short Hills Historic Preservation Commission approved a second-floor addition and roofline changes for a split-level house at 6425 Hobart Avenue, asking the applicants to replace proposed skylights with a shed dormer and to confirm window and trim details.
The commission approved a proposed second-floor addition over a split-level house at 6425 Hobart Avenue that creates a primary bedroom suite and additional storage while asking the design team to refine skylight and dormer details.
Owner Jay Bijay and the project architect presented plans to extend the roofline across the existing split-level massing, add a new primary suite and match exterior materials to the existing house. Commissioners recommended swapping skylights for a shallow shed dormer to avoid adding a new peak, suggested refinements to simulated-divided-lite windows, and asked the team to confirm stone/chimney treatments. The vote to approve included those conditions.
The commission recorded its approval with conditions on materials and final dormer skylight substitution to be implemented in the construction documents.
