About This Home

As of February 2023

With its beautiful setting, its custom details, and only the highest quality materials used to construct it, should it come as any surprise this home was built by renowned local builder Lewis Barber to be his own personal residence? Turn into the gated driveway to arrive at 26 farm-assessed acres of rolling hill and meadow just beyond the border with Princeton with land touching upon both Hopewell and Lawrence Townships. With uninterrupted views from almost every single room, the interior is simply stunning. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, stone, exposed brick, and wrought iron create a rustic, yet sophisticated ambiance. A European-style kitchen, a dining area, a family room, and the new library can be accessed via the central staircase or an elevator that spans all three levels. Above, a versatile office with a separate entry joins three bedrooms, all of which are suites. Take your pick of two primary bedrooms. One is on this level and there is another top-floor suite that has high ceilings and more stunning views from a private deck. Completed in 2008, the home's stucco and stone exterior with standing seam metal roof requires virtually no maintenance, while solar panels, 4-zone geothermal heating and cooling, and a whole-house generator offer the height of efficiency and comfort. Even the barn is warmed by radiant heat. Please note there are 3 tax IDs for this property. 2 in Lawrence (BLK 7201 & Lot 31.01 - 1 acre, Block 7201 & Lot 31.01 - 16.01 acres) and 1 in Hopewell (Block 44, Lot 1.01 for 9.10 acres). Current taxes are $26,589.21.
