This beautiful farmhouse and guest cottage on almost 40 acres of gated property will have you feeling like you are living in the country yet only minutes from Princeton and Hopewell Borough eateries and shops. With a 6-stall barn, multiple fenced pastures, a chicken coop, and a pavilion, this is the perfect place for a horse lover or an outdoor enthusiast. Sitting at the edge of Stony Brook at the far end of the property, enjoy all nature has to offer with plenty of room to explore. Both the main home and the cottage feel like a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. The guest cottage has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a powder room, laundry, a full bathroom, and its own private outdoor space. In the main house, the multi-zone kitchen ensures everyone has enough space to work comfortably with a big butcher block island for prepping meals. The front-to-back living room creates an inviting fireside atmosphere while the central dining room acts as the home’s heart - making it easy to entertain on a large scale. Above are 4 bedrooms, a modern hall bathroom, and a roomy en suite bathroom in the primary bedroom. Enjoy summer dinners on the large screened-in porch with views that stretch across the scenic acreage. A new 6-bedroom septic system allows guests to come for extended stays and with a 3-acre building envelope, those who want can expand even more!
