Rustic character and charm, and a graceful, old world atmosphere are found in this offering with a Princeton mailing address. The sweetest of homesteads, set on a generous 4.5 acres adjoining 800 acres of sprawling parkland, here is the antidote to modern life. A safe haven from the frantic pace of the city, yet still just a hop, skip and a jump to bustling Nassau Street, this is the place to lay down some roots and grow. Fish in the pond, swim in the pool, or play a round of paddle tennis when the lazy days of summer set in. The property features a picturesque red barn with a stall for your horse and a large, fenced pasture adjacent. There are three bays for cars and equipment plus a hay loft upstairs. A jewel of a home sits back from the road with a lovely wraparound sun room near the dining room. Upstairs find four bedrooms and a home office, while the master is in its own lovely wing on the first floor. A partially finished basement is the ideal play space and the country kitchen is open to both the breakfast and family rooms. Return to an old-fashioned way of life while still having the top-rated public schools, prep schools, and the University nearby. An easy commute to NYC and Philly, this property would make an ideal weekend country retreat. Note: A new 5 bedroom septic is being installed.

EP-2
Environmental Protection 2 District
The Environmental Protection 2 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-2 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-2 designation is contrasted with the EP-1 district by being underlain with the Brunswick Shale or Stockton Sandstone geologic formations as depicted in the adopted Master Plan which yield slightly better water supplies. 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.
