A spectacular 2.5 acre lot in Lawrence Township at the edge of Princeton is home to a handsome stucco Colonial solidly built in 1949 and beautifully updated three years ago. A sprawling backyard that extends all the way down to a walking trail along the old Johnson Trolley Line provides such a pretty view through a trio of windows in the new kitchen. A skylit cathedral ceiling pours sunshine down on granite countertops, pristine stainless steel appliances, and spalted maple Pergo flooring, the ultimate in durability. Sliders added to the spacious dining room offer an escape to the lush park-like backyard. Both the living room and family room have wide bay windows to capture the scenery. A renovated powder room is centrally located near steps to the partially finished basement. Both upper level bathrooms were also recently freshened up with new vanities to better serve three bedrooms, all with hardwood floor. Shrubbery edges the house and circular driveway leading to the two car attached garage. This delightful property is located right at the border of Lawrence Township with a Princeton address. Enjoy the best of rural tranquility with quick access to town. The 4-bedroom septic system installed in 2013 will easily accommodate expansion to this delightful home, if desired.

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.
