About This Home
As of April 2025Unique. Stunning. Spacious.
Welcome to this Mid-Century Modern home set on a sprawling 1.5 acres in picturesque Hopewell, just minutes from Princeton. This beautifully designed residence spans three levels and boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 elegantly appointed bathrooms, offering plenty of room for relaxation and entertainment. Stroll up the wooden ramp and enter the main floor. Light everywhere, bouncing off wooden floors. The living room is large and inviting: a slanted ceiling rises to meet a 15-foot high wall made from the wood of the original barn on the property. Turn around, appreciate the semi-circular fireplace and the sheer volume of the space. Look out through the two sliding-glass doors upon an enormous wooden deck and expansive lawn. The charming interior blends with the outdoor nature. Walk through the library with its built-in shelves to the dining room. On one side, a sliding glass door opens to the deck. The other side leads to the kitchen with a wooden island and floor to ceiling cabinets. Through the windows one views sunlight and pine trees. Then into the family room with a hot tub, opening skylights, and a wood-burning stove. Upstairs. A small office with windows overlooking the property. Bathroom (skylight). Beautiful bedroom (skylight). And an additional room that served as the primary bedroom, with an immense domed skylight and a large circular tub (skylight).
The lower level offers endless possibilities for work space, gym area, guest/in-law suite, or just
additional space for your family. This floor has 2 bedrooms, an office, 2 full bathrooms, and a
kitchenette. Three of these rooms have sliding glass doors that open out onto the wooden patio and
yard. Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds offer serene views to be enjoyed while using the
large deck or the patio down below. There is plenty of room for outdoor activities,
gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. An added feature to this house are the owned solar panels. Located on the eastern edge of Hopewell Township less than ten minutes from the hearts of Princeton, Hopewell, and Pennington; this home provides a balance between rural tranquility and suburban convenience. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property in one of New Jersey's most sought-after areas.
