Some styles are classic, yet trending at the same time. Case in point, “The Opulence,” a stunning rectangular pool that evokes the feeling of old Hollywood…right here in Short Hills. Installed by The Pool Boss, it boasts dramatic stage-width steps and an auto-cover at the deep end of the pool. A custom sundeck provides ample space for children and adults to basque in the sunshine while staying cool at the same time. The pool is perfectly framed by paving stones in the highly sought-after shade of Norwegian Buff and complemented by Bluestone Coping.

When in “Hollywood,” one cannot overlook the pool house, an elegant structure offering conversational seating as well as warmth and protection from the elements. Surrounding the patio lies a row of pine and deciduous trees as well as a pathway to a floral garden. We are ready for our closeup, Mr. DeMille.
