About This Home

As of April 2020

Sunset views across the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed, striking design, and room to roam sets this Princeton Farms home apart. Enjoy the rare hybrid of a neighborhood setting combined with the serenity of country living. Upon entry on hardwood floors, you will find a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, skylight, and a marble floor-to- ceiling fireplace. Access to the expansive and fully fenced back yard can be obtained from one of two sliding doors onto the deck area. The first floor office space is convenient for accessibility. The dining room is kept toasty warm in the cooler months with a wood burning stove insert. Adjoining the dining room, is the sunlit family room with vaulted ceiling, skylight, and ceiling fan. The kitchen has a convenient pass through to the dining room, granite countertops, updated appliances, and a deep double sink with Moen hands-free faucet and a window to enjoy the view. Front loading Bosch washer and dryer as well as a half bath are also located on the first floor. Upstairs, you will find hardwood floors throughout. Three bedrooms share a hall bathroom with double sinks. The master bedroom has adjoining full bath with two walk in closets, stall shower, and whirlpool tub. This home has been impeccably maintained and upgraded and has even undergone an energy audit to ensure efficiency. You will find ample storage in the basement as well as a top of the line Lennox heating and AC system installed in 2016, Sunpower solar inverter, high efficiency A.O. hybrid heat-pump water heater, and reverse osmosis water filtration system. SunPower 10.08 kWdc grid-connected solar photovoltaic system greatly reduces energy costs! The home is on public sewer and also has natural gas. Located on the edge of the Sourland Mountains and the Lawrenceville Hopewell Trail, outdoor activities are at your fingertips. Trail access to The Watershed Institute and Honeybrook Organic Farm are bonuses. Only moments from both Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough and all that have to offer. This neighborhood feeds to the well-renowned Hopewell Valley Regional School District.
