About This Home
As of August 2019Come experience the serenity of Sycamore Sky, a private 8-acre paradise only 10 minutes from historic Princeton. Thoughtful planning provides a profound enjoyment of nature: a foot bridge over Honey Creek, cedar chip trails for meandering walks amongst holly trees, dogwoods and daffodils; a heated pool with a rock waterfall; bluestone patios shaded under a giant Sycamore, and so much more. Wide windows bring the outdoors into formal living and dining rooms and especially to the home's heart: a European-inspired kitchen, completed with desirable features: stainless appliances, granite counters, cherry cabinets, and a U-shaped dining banquette. A 2-part family room is ideal for entertaining: gather around a limestone fireplace, or curl up by the entertainment center for a movie. Bookcases trim a separate office/bedroom. A treehouse feel in the master suite is enhanced by a gas fireplace and private balcony. 3 more bedrooms and 2 full baths include a guest suite with a sparkling bay window. A possibility-rich basement offers a wine cellar with a cooling system.
