A breezy, wraparound porch sets the tone at "The Turtle House", the centerpiece of an idyllic 6 acre property that revels in natural splendor. Sit in the screened gazebo and listen to the sounds of water splashing down rocks and flowing to the pond edged with stone paths, pretty plantings and bridges leading toward an open field and preserved land beyond. Inside, new LVP flooring unites the open floor plan with ample space for big holiday gatherings in the expanded formal rooms. A gas fireplace stands between French doors and a picture window which brings light into the family room and the gourmet kitchen, updated in 2020 with gleaming Quartz countertops. An office and powder room are perfectly placed nearby. Plush new carpeting blankets the well-lit finished basement and leads the way upstairs, where the cathedral main suite surprises with unexpected amenities. The dual primary baths have radiant-heated floors and an infrared sauna beneath an eye-catching tin ceiling, and through the walk-in closet, you'll discover loads of hidden space ready to transform into a serene sitting room or perhaps a lofty home gym. Two more full bathrooms and the laundry are handy to three additional bedrooms. In this quiet, natural setting, complete with a Princeton address, a whole-house generator brings extra peace of mind. Simply sit back and soak up the scenery!

Griggstown Historic District South, located between the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park and the Millstone River, is a historic and riverside East Rocky Hill neighborhood with 19th-century farmhouses and canal-side towpaths. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Griggstown Causeway crossing, where cyclists, anglers, and paddlers cluster around the water and trailheads. Architecture leans to clapboard homes, barns, and small-lot cottages set against floodplain meadows and shade trees. Daily rhythms follow the canal: walking, birding, and seasonal river views. The setting feels rural-edged, with long sightlines, narrow lanes, and a strong sense of place tied to the canal era.
