Custom-built and meticulously maintained by the current owners, this Arts & Crafts-inspired manor home with barrel-vaulted foyer, gleaming wood floors and elegantly carved staircase is a masterful interpretation of old-world living for the modern age. Adjacent to the stunning family room, the spacious kitchen with top appliances and granite counters opens to a sunny cupolaed breakfast nook on one side and on another, a butler's pantry with swing door access to the formal dining room. An executive office with built-ins shares a hall with the private master suite, where a sitting room, custom closet/dressing space and stone bath create the ultimate retreat. A study, ventilated for enjoying the occasional cigar and laundry area complete the main level. Upstairs, four bedrooms, each with private bath, overlook both the lush patioed backyard and the sweeping front lawn with semi-circular drive. On the finished lower level, a picture perfect, temperature-controlled wine cellar and indoor golf driving range, and flexible bonus space provide wonderful ways to relax! All of this within 3.5 miles to downtown Princeton, Princeton University, and the train. Located within the Johnson Park elementary school district, it's even closer to some of the area private schools. Come see!
