Set on over eight scenic acres of rolling countryside near Baldpate Mountain, the Delaware and Raritan Canal Towpath, and the charming river towns of Lambertville and New Hope, this beautifully renovated property enjoys a coveted Lambertville mailing address and highly regarded Hopewell Township schools. Once a horse farm, the land remains rich with opportunity, whether your vision includes horses, hobby farming, gardening, or simply embracing the beauty of an exceptional setting. Lovingly maintained by long-term owners, virtually every inch of the home has been thoughtfully improved. A new septic system installed in 2022 provides peace of mind, while fully owned solar panels are transferable and offset the electric costs. Inside, warm hardwood floors flow through the living room, where a wood-burning fireplace and bay window create an inviting gathering space, and continue into the adjoining dining room, featuring a graceful bow window. Both spaces are filled with light and serene views. The kitchen is as functional as it is attractive, appointed with premium Bosch appliances including a wall oven, microwave, and cooktop, complemented by a Viking ventilation hood. Just beyond, a mudroom with a built-in desk provides an organized workspace, while a powder room completes the first floor. The finished lower level expands the home's living space with a comfortable media room, laundry area, and generous storage. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms with custom closet systems and a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a jetted Jacuzzi tub with shower. The property's ancillary spaces are every bit as impressive as the home itself. The heated barn is equipped with water and electricity and features a large, high-ceilinged former hayloft accessed by a full staircase, creating remarkable space for hobbies, recreation, storage, studio use, or countless other pursuits. Equally impressive, the attached two-car garage is fully finished with both heating and air conditioning and includes a dedicated office area, offering an ideal setup for a workspace separate from the main house. Rarely does a property combine acreage, impeccable upkeep, modern efficiency, versatility, and such an enviable location. Surrounded by some of the area’s most beautiful countryside, yet only minutes from acclaimed restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and everyday conveniences, this is country living without compromise!
