Overlooking Curlis Lake this 2014 , Zavetta redesign/renovation with fine attention to detail has created an unparalleled residence in an exquisite setting just outside of Princeton. Set up high and away from the road, a gated drive with attractive post lighting leads to a fashionable country estate on 10+ acres with a pool, tennis court, barn, tranquil lake views and a dock! A circular drive delivers you to this well tailored home with a portico porch and glass entry doors that open to a two story foyer with unobstructed views of Lake Curlis throughout the home. This custom built property offers two primary bedrooms, (one up and one down) with gracious size living rooms all designed to take advantage of lake views. The formal living room is sunken and has a fireplace with a coffer ceiling and French doors, the adjacent kitchen has a center island, French doors and breakfast room that overlooks the sunken family room with a cathedral ceiling of classic white cross beams that compliment the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace flanked by custom bookcases and a third set of French doors. All three rooms open to a gorgeous blue-stone patio bordered by stone walls and a custom chimney stack BBQ making for memorable outdoor entertaining overlooking spectacular lake views. Speaking of outdoor entertaining, a heated in-ground pool and a lighted tennis court add to the excitement of the lake that runs approximately 400 feet along the back property line with granite stepping stones to the water and dock. A front-to-back sun room and mud room acts as second informal entrance after swimming, tennis, gardening and/or a perfect pet entry for dirty paws, this room accesses the heated three-car garage and a staircase to a private second floor gym which also boasts lake views. At the other end of the home is a first floor primary bedroom suite with a third fireplace, a private study and an immense master bath with a vaulted ceiling. Upstairs is a second primary bedroom with a private bath and sitting room, three more bedrooms with their own architectural features including vaulted or white beam ceilings, custom mill-work, window seats, walk-in closets and private office/sitting rooms all share a hall bath. The finished lower level makes for informal gatherings with built-in bookcases and shelving. The professionally landscaped grounds include a fenced barn which is heated and cooled with concrete flooring - current use is for storage of antique cars, but there are many uses that this structure would be suited for:home office, studio, game house, Man-Cave, She-shed, you decide. Timeless elegance is the hallmark of this private estate with multiple views and uses all embraced by nature.
