About This Home

As of March 2024

Overlooking the meeting point of the Millstone River and Carnegie Lake, this spectacular home has been completely transformed, thanks to a renovation of uncompromising quality by master builder, Lewis Barber. Sweeping expanses of glass allow incredible water views and natural light to flow through stunning, finely-crafted spaces: the living room where a sleek mirrored surround outlines a slate fireplace, a vaulted office with French doors that doubles as a pretty bedroom, a mudroom area smartly lined with closets. Shimmering sunlight and breathtaking views unite the family room and exquisite modern kitchen with Caesarstone counters, huge pull-up island, and top-of-the-line appliances featuring a covetable Bertozzi range. Upstairs, an intimate floor of 3 bedrooms and 2 modern baths include the peaceful master suite, a refuge with soothing water views that also fill the glistening en suite with free-standing tub. The walk-out lower level houses a spacious media room and a beautiful au pair suite with figured glass doors. 2-car garage. Lake access.
