About this home

On 9 farm-assessed acres an easy drive to Princeton, Hopewell, and Lawrenceville, this Provence-inspired getaway is surrounded on all sides by natural beauty. Down a quiet country lane off Carter Road, house, gardens and reflecting pool are all custom designed and built. Add to that a three car barn with a changing room and loft space. It~s romance from every angle: from the washed brick and espaliered trees in front, tothe back deck and stone patio poised to take in the picturesque, tree-edged pond. Throughout, there are hardwood floors, lots of light, and windows carefully placed to show views on walls showing the grounds north/south or east/west. Inside the unique dining room was built by hand in 1931 using cherry wood milled on site. The mantle, niches, and fireplace surround are all hand carved cherry. The living room was added in 1995 framed by Palladian-topped windows designed by Princeton architect Michael Farewell. Large kitchen is ready for reinvention. With a wet bar, full bath, andpegged hardwoods, the vast family room could easily host guests. Upstairs, 2 full baths handle 3 light bedrooms that are flexible and private. Providing peace of mind are a generator and a new septic system to be installed. A rare and beautiful property!

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.
