About This Home
As of November 2024If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live in a home that pre-dates the American Revolution, here is your chance to find out.
Built in 1767 on 123 acres of farmland, pastures and woodland, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath house retains original features like ceiling beams, random-width wood floors, 2 staircases, and 3 stone fireplaces, and juxtaposes them seamlessly with thoughtful additions like the light-filled first-floor master suite and family room, which opens to the kitchen. The home and outbuildings are set substantially back from the road to offer uncompromised privacy.
In the original part of the home, a front-to-back living room with built-in bookcases and original stone fireplace invite one to relax and enjoy panoramic views from windows spanning three of the walls.
The adjacent hall offers access via French doors to the stone terrace, pool and hot tub in the backyard, and the nearby dining room, where a large bumped out window with deep ledge is the perfect place to over-winter potted plants.
At the heart of the home is the two-story kitchen that masterfully mixes old and new: an original oversized stone fireplace with kettle arm on one wall, and modern open shelving and clerestory windows on another. Finishing the room are an abundance of cabinets, stainless-steel appliances including a Sub-Zero, and an apron sink. Open to the kitchen is a spacious family room filled with natural light; at the back, French doors lead to the yard.
The first-floor master suite with private bath is at the far end of the home, and windows on three walls guarantee a sunny wake up. A second full bath and a mudroom entry with laundry are nearby.
Upstairs, three bedrooms share a hall bath. One of the rooms gives access to the original staircase to the ground level, and nearby there’s walk-up access to the attic.
Outbuildings include a detached garage/shed, and the six-stall King barn with grooming area and large loft for hay storage. Enjoy Mother Nature’s display year-round from inside the home, where many of the rooms feature loads of windows, or the terrace in the backyard, where minimal outdoor lights translate to star-filled skies. And for gardening enthusiasts, a fenced-in area of beds awaits your personal touch.
Location wise, enjoy easy access to Routes 202 and 31; the nearby communities of New Hope, Hopewell, Pennington and Princeton; and a reasonable commute to NYC and Philadelphia.
