About This Home
As of February 2019An antidote to the ordinary in the heart of West Windsor! Down a long, gently winding driveway, 135 Penn Lyle Road presents a stately yet welcoming Fieldstone facade. Tucked into a lush, 2.36-acre setting, this home manages to be both close to town amenities and removed from everything, all at once, creating a retreat one wouldn't imagine encountering so close to the train station, schools and West Windsor's main shopping thoroughfare. The two-story foyer is the picture of elegance, with a grand, curved staircase and a beautiful Palladian window. Hardwood floors and beautifully detailed moldings are found here, as well as throughout entire home. A window-lined office/Conservatory lies off the formal living room, and a first-floor bedroom with a full bath is tucked into a corner and enjoys beautiful views of the back yard from a large bay window. The epicurean's kitchen is as efficient as it is eye-catching. Custom White cabinetry is balanced out by the sleek, granite counters. High-end appliances include a Wolf oven/range and a Sub Zero refrigerator. Casual dining can be accommodated at the large center island, or gather in the breakfast room with views of the backyard and access to the Bluestone patio. The two-story great room opens to the breakfast room and kitchen. Clerestory windows provide abundant natural light, while French doors lead to the back veranda. Upstairs, the master suite enjoys its own wing, complete with two walk-in closets, a luxurious master bath, a dressing area and a sitting room. A princess suite, two additional bedrooms that share a hall bath, and a convenient second-floor laundry room complete the second level. The finished basement provides additional room for exercise equipment, entertaining or hobbies, plus a two-tiered media room. The backyard rivals any resort, with a lagoon-shaped in-ground pool and hot tub, a two-tiered Bluestone patio, a fire-pit and a veranda for more intimate moments. Easy access to the Princeton Junction Train Station and West Windsor schools add to the allure.
