About This Home
Approached by a gated drive passing a pond edged in irises, this undeniably romantic 7.3-acre property is reminiscent of a rambling English countryside estate. Stone walls, bay windows and a veranda mark the original residence, while later additions bring even more light-filled space for gracious everyday living, along with a garage connected by a covered walkway. Offering optimal privacy, five bedrooms across three levels are all served by beautifully tiled, renovated, en suite baths. The spacious living room with French doors on both sides is the centerpiece of the home, while a cozy, lower family room with a bar and built-ins is ideal for play or casual entertaining. The big, bright, cathedral kitchen, complete with a 48" Viking range and a beverage fridge, also has a sitting area and work station. The thoughtful design presents a choice of primary suites and quiet spots to work from home, plus a sunny gym with a sauna. This unforgettable home is just 3.5 miles from downtown Princeton and convenient to NYC and Philadelphia. Don’t miss the chance to spend this summer poolside in the shade of the cabana gazing out at bountiful gardens!
