As of August 2019

An elegant and soaring two-story foyer sets the tone for this stately and handsome Belle Mead 4/5 Bedroom residence. From a gracious open floor plan, to designer chef's kitchen, formal and informal living spaces, generous bedrooms, and an outdoor entertainer's paradise, this modern-day estate offers it all. The artful high-end details complement the open and flowing layout throughout the home. The spacious open floor plan provides an elegant backdrop for easy day-to-day living. Boasting over 4,400 square feet, this home seamlessly flows across two levels; a finished basement adds an additional 1,300 square feet. The basement is as meticulously crafted as the main living areas?it offers a birch paneled wet bar, gym, rec room, media room, game room and a full bathroom. In the summer, living spills outside right into its very own outdoor entertainer's paradise. From the extra space in the finished basement to the outdoor escape, this expansive home offers an abundance of artfully crafted space. The expertly designed chef's kitchen makes cooking a delight, whether it's a quick weeknight dinner or a luxurious five-course meal. The recently updated countertops, granite island, high end Kitchen Aid and Jenn-Air appliances, and separate breakfast area all work together to create this dream kitchen. Living spaces abound in this expansive residence. A formal dining room, formal living room, family room, great room, finished basement, and office/5th BR w/full bath provide a comfortable setting for any occasion. The purposefully designed floor plan features luxurious accents such as chandeliers, gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, chair rail molding, detailed ceilings, and large custom windows. From the gracious sitting area to spa-like amenities, the master suite serves as a private retreat. The three other well-appointed bedrooms share a spacious bath on the second level. An abundance of walk-in closets and storage will be a delight for even the most meticulous organizer. The outdoor living area offers a Gunite heated pool, stone patio, hot tub, and priceless escape from the hustle and bustle. The Trex decking and professional landscaping make the space as easy to care for as it is to enjoy. One of the best features of this home is its Belle Mead location.
