It is recognized for its excellent schools, recreational programs and charming country setting. Bob and Chas Ferruggia, principals of Ferruggia Associates in Warren, know a lot about what executive buyers want. The brothers have been building in Somerset, Union, Morris and Hunterdon counties for more than 30 years. Getaway rooms are popular, too, like a sitting room off the master, which can be used as a home office, a TV room or a nursery. These executives and their growing families are usually particular about a home's overall design, Ferruggia says.

That's what makes it sell. The kitchen works for my family. First impressions carry a lot of weight with executives, too, notes Ferruggia. When you walk into an entry foyer, the house opens up as the cathedral ceiling and the moldings work together. We're known for our moldings-we give attention to every detail.
