This absolutely charming English Cottage, nestled behind tall boxwood hedges and dogwoods, has been carefully updated maintaining its period architectural integrity. A gracious foyer, with oak staircase leading to a wide landing with window sesat, opens to large formal living and dining rooms, both with gleaming hardwood floors. The front-to-back living room features a brick wood-burning fireplace flanked by doors to the generous family area. Both rooms overlook the rear stone terrace and lush landscaped grounds with more boxwood hedges and a majestic stand of evergreens. The kitchen with beautiful wood cabinetry, professional Viking range, Subzero refrigerator, and farmhouse sink opens to the elliptical window-walled breakfast area and bar area with wine cooler. Upstairs are three corner bedrooms including a master with walk-in closet and marble bath with air-jet tub. The hall bath with stackable laundry has also been remodeled with period taste. On the third floor is a fourth bedroom or multi-purpose room with stone wall, built-in bookcases, and full tiled bath. This is truly a wonderful period home nestled amongst fabulous mature gardens.

Zoning

EP-1

Environmental Protection 1 District

The Environmental Protection 1 district is designed for low intensity uses primarily in the northwest area of the municipality where poor water yields and strata for septic systems dictate large lot development in an area of little or no public infrastructure and severe environmental constraints, including but not limited to, a seasonal high water table, shallow depth to bedrock, and steep slopes along the Stony Brook. Further, the purpose of the EP-1 district is to protect the environmental resources and qualities of this area, maintain the rural character of roads and scenic views, and retain farmland. The EP-1 designation is contrasted with the EP-2 district by being underlain with the Lockatong-Argillite geologic formation as depicted in the adopted Master Plan. Both the EP-1 and EP-2 districts, though poorly suited for development, are exceptional areas for non-irrigated agriculture. Because of this last factor, clustering of residential units is preferred whether under the provisions of this section or 428.
