Resort-Like New Jersey Estate With an Indoor Basketball Garage Lists for $3,200,000

Set on 1.85 fenced and tree-lined acres in Marlboro, the six-bedroom estate pairs double-island marble kitchen design with a gunite pool, cabana, basketball and pickleball court—and a climate-controlled garage configured for indoor play.

At 2 Topaz Court in Marlboro, New Jersey, the garage isn’t reserved entirely for cars. Beyond the home’s conventional three-car garage, a breezeway leads to an additional two-car structure that is heated and cooled and has been configured for indoor basketball.

It is an appropriately unconventional feature for a property whose recreation spaces extend well beyond the house. The 1.85-acre estate also has a gunite swimming pool with a sun shelf, waterfall and spillover spa, an updated outdoor basketball and pickleball court, a covered cabana with its own bathroom and kitchenette, and extensive patios surrounded by fenced, tree-lined grounds.

The six-bedroom residence is coming to market for $3,200,000, with showings scheduled to begin Sept. 23, according to the listing. Built in 2003, the approximately 5,605-square-foot house combines traditional architectural details with more contemporary renovations and a substantial indoor-outdoor entertaining program.

Listing agent Gregory Alessi of Prive Haus describes the property as a meeting of “modern luxury” and “resort style living,” a characterization reflected less by any single amenity than by the number of places designed for recreation across the house, basement, pool grounds and garages.

A Vaulted Great Room Sets the Scale

A two-story foyer establishes the home’s formal arrival before opening toward a great room capped by a paneled vaulted ceiling.

A wall of arched windows brings daylight into the space, while a fireplace framed by built-ins provides a more traditional focal point. The combination gives the room considerable height without abandoning the millwork and architectural detailing found elsewhere in the house.

Formal living and dining rooms reinforce that traditional side of the architecture through dentil molding, wainscoting and a coffered ceiling. A butler’s pantry supports the dining spaces, providing separation between formal entertaining and the working kitchen.

The main level also contains a home office with a fireplace and a dedicated bar room opening directly to the patio. Together, those spaces allow entertaining to move naturally from the interior toward the backyard rather than depending on a single central living room.

Two Marble Islands Anchor the Kitchen

The kitchen shifts toward a brighter, more contemporary palette.

White inset cabinetry surrounds two islands finished in double-thick marble, giving the room substantial preparation and gathering space. Slate flooring introduces a darker material beneath the lighter cabinetry and stone.

The appliance package is similarly ambitious. A commercial-size Sub-Zero refrigerator is accompanied by Wolf and Viking appliances, while the adjacent butler’s pantry adds support for larger gatherings.

Two islands can be excessive in kitchens that lack sufficient scale, but here they fit into a house designed with multiple entertaining zones. One can support food preparation while the other functions more naturally as seating or serving space, reducing competition for the same surface during parties.

That emphasis on practical separation appears repeatedly throughout 2 Topaz Court. The basement has its own kitchenette, the pool cabana has another, and even the bar room has been positioned to connect directly with the patio.

The Primary Suite Has Its Own Stone Fireplace

Upstairs, the primary suite introduces a more private version of the home’s resort-oriented design.

A separate sitting area centers on a stacked-stone fireplace, creating a distinct retreat within the bedroom suite rather than simply enlarging the sleeping area. The accompanying spa bathroom has a freestanding soaking tub.

For guests or multigenerational living, the floor plan also places a bedroom with a full bathroom on the first floor. That arrangement provides accommodation without requiring stairs and gives visitors greater separation from the upstairs bedrooms.

The house contains six bedrooms and seven bathrooms overall, allowing the private spaces to support the larger entertaining capacity downstairs and outside.

The Basement Functions as Another Entertainment Floor

The finished lower level is organized less like a conventional basement and more like a second recreational floor.

A dedicated theater provides a destination for movies, while a game room and lounge create separate gathering areas nearby. A full bathroom and kitchenette mean guests can remain downstairs without repeatedly returning to the principal kitchen.

That degree of self-sufficiency becomes useful in a house where different groups may be using different spaces simultaneously. A gathering can extend from the theater to the game room while another group occupies the formal rooms or backyard.

The basement also helps make the house usable throughout the year. Many of the property’s most conspicuous amenities are outdoors, but the theater, game room and lounge provide a winter counterpart to the pool and sports court.

Then there is the second garage, which pushes the year-round recreation concept further.

A Five-Car Garage Doubles as an Indoor Court

The stone-and-stucco residence incorporates a three-car garage, but a breezeway connects it to an additional two-car structure.

That second garage is heated and cooled and is set up to accommodate indoor basketball, according to the listing. It therefore serves two roles: climate-controlled vehicle storage when required and recreational space when cars are elsewhere.

For buyers with collector vehicles, the combined structures provide capacity for as many as five cars. For a family more interested in sports, the auxiliary garage becomes another all-weather activity space.

The listing doesn’t provide the dimensions or ceiling height of the indoor basketball setup, so it should not be confused with a regulation-size basketball court. Its appeal is flexibility—the same structure can serve automotive, recreational or potentially other hobby uses without sacrificing the attached three-car garage.

The Backyard Has Two More Places to Play Basketball

Outside, the property becomes a private recreation complex.

The gunite swimming pool incorporates a sun shelf and waterfall, along with a spillover spa. Large paver patios surround the water, providing space for lounging and entertaining, while a screened porch offers a more protected transition back toward the house.

A covered cabana is more than a simple pool shelter. It contains a full bathroom and kitchenette, allowing food, drinks and pool-day necessities to remain outdoors rather than sending wet swimmers through the main residence.

Beyond the pool is an updated court configured for basketball and pickleball. Combined with the indoor basketball setup in the climate-controlled garage, it gives the property both indoor and outdoor options for play depending on weather and season.

The entire setting occupies approximately 1.85 acres with fencing and mature tree cover. That landscape buffer is important because the backyard’s extensive recreational program could otherwise feel crowded or exposed.

The Property Last Sold for $1,375,000

The supplied public-record history shows the property selling for $1,375,000 in January 2010. The current $3,200,000 asking price is $1,825,000 higher, or approximately 133% above that transaction.

That difference should not automatically be described as market appreciation. More than 16 years separate the two figures, and the current listing describes a number of updated or improved spaces without providing dates, construction costs or a complete renovation history. The current figure is also an asking price rather than a completed transaction.

An earlier recorded sale occurred in March 2004 for $1,203,347, shortly after the home’s stated 2003 construction. A November 2002 transaction of $351,000 predates the completed residence and is therefore particularly unsuitable as a direct comparison with today’s property.

At $3,200,000, the current asking price equates to approximately $571 per square foot based on the stated 5,605 square feet. As with most amenity-heavy estates, that calculation doesn’t separately value the 1.85-acre site, pool complex, outdoor sports court, cabana or additional climate-controlled garage.

The coming-soon status adds another distinction: $3,200,000 represents the property’s current asking price before scheduled showings begin, not an established sale value.

A House Designed to Keep the Party Moving

The unusual thing about 2 Topaz Court isn’t that it has a pool, home theater or basketball court. Luxury suburban houses can offer any of those.

Here, recreation has been distributed across the property. Movies and games move downstairs; the bar opens toward the patio; the pool has a self-contained cabana; basketball and pickleball move onto the outdoor court; and another basketball setup waits inside a heated and cooled garage when the weather turns.

That distribution makes the estate feel larger in use than its 5,605-square-foot interior measurement alone might suggest. The house is only one part of a broader collection of spaces designed for entertaining.

At $3,200,000, the property is coming to market with a combination that is difficult to summarize through bedroom count or square footage: a traditional six-bedroom residence whose garages, basement and backyard have all been recruited into the recreational program.
