Interior Design: Designer Showhouse of New Jersey to open Oct. 9 in Saddle River

The chateau-style residence has an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, marble countertops and walnut parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern. There's a home theater, a music room, a game room and a man cave on the lower level. The master suite has a dressing room and a sculpted ceiling.

Those are a few features in the 10,000-square-foot Saddle River home that will be the setting for this year's Designer Showhouse of New Jersey, the first glimpses of which can be had on Wednesday at a $225-per-ticket preview party.

From Thursday through Nov. 16, public access is a more affordable $35 per person. The showhouse, at 11 Sawmill Road, displays the work of nearly two dozen New Jersey and New York interior designers. The grounds of the two-acre estate are being polished by two landscape firms for this major fundraiser of the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation.

Visitors will see designer styling in the home's seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, library, garden room, breakfast room and other areas. A showhouse boutique will bring shopping to the home's lower-level entertainment area. Outside, a cabana house near the pool is outfitted for entertaining with a kitchen and fireplace.

Showhouse admission includes a souvenir journal. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Children under six, strollers and pets will not be admitted. Tickets for Wednesday's 6:30 p.m. showhouse preview party are available through hackensackumcfoundation.org. Call (551) 996-3720.
