About This Home

As of September 2020

Nearly 6 breathtaking acres, expertly designed by an award-winning landscape architect, surround this remarkable home tucked away in a private enclave close to the historic towns of Hopewell and Princeton. Sunshine and pond views stream through French doors and walls of windows into grandly-scaled living and dining rooms, showcasing lofty ceilings, custom millwork, and the 1st of 4 fireplaces. Drenched in natural light, an incredible gourmet kitchen with every possible appointment adjoins a vaulted breakfast room and double-height Great Room, all overlooking the pool, pool house, and fan-cooled pavilion. Two powder rooms, tiled mudroom and laundry are nearby. A bookcase-sheathed library boasts a fireplace and pocket door to privatize the study. Front and back staircases lead to 3 spectacular bedrooms and 2 suites, all with inside access to beautifully-tiled bathrooms. An expansive finished basement surprises with a rec area, gym, wine storage, and a full bath. A fully-fenced yard is wrapped in picturesque gardens and stone terraces. 3-car garage. (P.S. There is a 6th bathroom in the pool house!)
