As you pass the brick pillars at the entryway, be prepared to enter a tranquil, park-like private setting. "Tavistock", named by the original family who built the property, as a tribute to the little village in southern England that inspired the design, greets you . This turn-of-the century, solidly built house, with an all slate roof is situated on over nine acres and borders the Carson Woods Preserve. The home has retained many original features and its charm. As you enter the home the foyer greets you. The living room is a sight to behold! A vaulted beamed ceiling is dramatic but at the same time the room is welcoming and comfortable, with hardwood pegged floors, oak cabinetry and built-in book shelves. French doors on either side the stone fire place open onto a flagstone patio. The wood surround for the fireplace is craftsman style. To the right of the foyer, the cozy dining room also has hardwood floors and a brick fireplace with wood surround and built ins. The kitchen is at the rear of the home with a convenient back entrance. The first floor is also home to two bedrooms and a full bath in their own private wing, perfect for weekend guests. As you near the top of the stairs, a doorway leads to attic storage, a useful bonus! The second floor bedrooms and hallway also have hardwood floors throughout. There are three bedrooms on the second floor including the master bed and bath, a connecting bath to the front bedroom and a study. Detached from the home is an oversized two car garage. This charming home is situated on just over 9 acres, minutes from Princeton, located in Lawrence Township, just up the street from the world class golf course, Jasna Polana. Princeton address.

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.
