162 Updikes Mill Rd, Belle Mead, NJ 08502

Just minutes from Princeton and worlds away from ordinary, this impeccably upgraded estate-style home is what happens when good taste meets great planning and decides to throw one unforgettable pool party! Set on four lush, professionally landscaped acres that roll out like a private park, this home makes the most of every season, with ornamental trees and tasteful plantings that practically bloom on cue. But the real scene-stealer is the dazzling saltwater pool and spa that shimmer in the sun, all embraced by tiered composite decks and an alfresco sound system that turns any day into a celebration. Inside, the mood is open, airy, and primed for entertaining. A sky-high family room with a gas fireplace anchors the layout, while the gourmet kitchen pulls double duty as prep zone and hangout hub, thanks to its oversized island, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, and invisible Bose speakers overhead. The sunroom, home office, and formal spaces are all beautifully presented. Updated baths bring polish to the upstairs bedrooms, reached via front and back stairs. The primary suite adds a touch of indulgence with two bonus sitting rooms ideal for a second home office or an additional closet and a hotel-worthy bathroom renovation featuring a laundry chute and oversized shower with body jets. Twin bedrooms share a renovated Jack and Jill bathroom, and the guest bedroom has a private bath. With its five-bedroom septic, the walk-out finished basement with a full bathroom offers flexibility for extended stay visitors. A full-house generator, newer energy-efficient windows and skylights, and a roof refresh in 2015 mean this home is as headache-free as it is spectacular!
