About This Home

As of June 2025

Situated on 3.66 acres with unparalleled privacy in back and sprawling farmland nearby, this stone-accented home is a refined take on country living, complete with a Princeton address. Savor the peace and quiet out on the patio, the deck or under the cover of the skylit sunroom knowing that all the amenities of downtown and Pennington Borough are just minutes away. The interior begins with an airy tiled foyer featuring a sweeping
staircase and wide open view into the naturally bright formal rooms. Hardwood floors continue through to the kitchen, where you can pull up a seat at the peninsula topped with attractive gray stone and cook to your hearts content with stainless steel appliances. Around the corner, a wet bar serves the family room warmed by a wood stove set within a stone wall, all surrounded by ambient uplighting. Perhaps the most beautiful space is also the hardest working! The mudroom with half bath was renovated to perfection with a stacked washer/dryer, durable oversized tile, pretty wallpaper and space galore. The home’s other bathrooms were also delightfully refreshed, including one beside a huge walk-in closet within a first floor suite that can easily serve as the primary. Should everyone wish to be on the same level, another serene suite is right upstairs. A whimsically decorated hall bath serves two more large bedrooms and a big bonus room with new carpeting. Don’t miss all the walk-in storage accessible to all in the hallway. That’s not all - there’s a corner office and a semi-finished room down in the sprawling basement ripe with potential.
