About This Home

As of July 2018

Luxury and traditional styling define this center hall Colonial in scenic Hopewell Township. With touches like the keystone accented brick front, a circular paver stone drive and handsome mahogany entry door, this home is brimming with tasteful upgrades. A bright 2 story center hall foyer is flanked by the formal dining and elegant living rooms. The dining area with half-wall paneling and a stunning coffered ceiling is suited to service any occasion. The living room accessed by French doors is highlighted by tasteful crown molding and accent lighting. Positively sparkling with natural light, windows and glass doors line the rear of the first level. The chef's kitchen and adjoining breakfast room feature Woodmode cabinetry, expansive center island, beautiful granite countertops and high end appliances, such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor 6-burner range, double ovens, broiler and Miele dishwasher. A wine storage room, granite topped wet bar and laundry room provide every possible convenience. The home boasts hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen opens to the great room with gas fireplace. Glass doors lead to a 2-tiered bluestone terrace and professionally landscaped backyard patio area. A spacious main level study with full bath, fireplace and plenty of closets can also work well as a guest suite. An elevator servicing all levels is an added bonus. The grand master suite has a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, a large sitting room and plenty of closets. A master bath has a whirlpool tub and a large shower and vanity area. 2 Princess suites, with ample closet space, and 2 additional bedrooms that share a bath complete the 2nd floor. A 3-car side entry garage and an unfinished basement that can easily be converted to living space complete this home. Located among spectacular custom built homes, within the Hopewell Valley school district, minutes to Princeton, the areas private schools, fabulous eating and shopping, trains to NYC and Philadelphia and convenient to major highways. This pristine home lacks for absolutely nothing.
