Just across the township line with a Princeton address, a well-cared for home is poised on the brow of a gentle slope in a lushly-planted landscape that is enchanting. The interior welcomes the view from many rooms and offers the perfect balance between formal and casual living. Enter through the front entry hall near the elegant living room with one of three fireplaces or from the side door into an organized mudroom with laundry and access to the garage. A bluestone patio is reached via sliders from the timber paneled family room. A functional, user-friendly kitchen is adjacent. With a classic Cape Cod floor plan, there are two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor. Upstairs, a hideaway for the master of the house includes a den alongside a palatial homeowner's suite. A sanctuary that's on par with a five-star hotel, find bedroom, sitting room, dressing room, walk-in closets, fireplace and a bath here. A finished basement adds yet another layer of living space in this timeless, character-filled home.
