The gas fireplace provides a great focal point and entices you to sit and watch the flames flicker. There is a French door leading to one of the two patio areas of the home and then onto the yard and pool area. The living room, is cozy and provides a spot to relax away from the rest of the home The living, dining and family rooms are all equipped with wall and ceiling mounted B & W speakers. The Master suite, with its dramatic vaulted ceiling is a good size with two walk-in closets and a master bath with stall shower and double vanity. There are two more bedrooms that share the renovated hall bath. Hard wood flooring can be found in most of the main living space of the home. Off the other side of the entry foyer, there is a multi-purpose room which is currently being used as a home gym. Through here is access to the three-car garage and separate guest apartment.

Over two acres of rolling lawns edged with mature trees provide the stunning views that fill this sun-flooded home, delightful with its deceiving size, a separate guest apartment, and a wonderful location just outside Princeton. A marble entry greets guests with sunshine and backyard views of the brick patio and in-ground pool. Warm terra-cotta tiles lead to the eat-in kitchen, lined with butcher block counters and a granite-topped dining peninsula. Hardwood floors begin in a cozy family room. Spend sunsets fireside in the open concept dining and living rooms, or fling open the atrium doors to the inviting terrace. A bedroom wing houses the cathedral master suite, with a gleaming white bath, plus his and hers walk-in closets. Another full bath serves 2 more sunny bedrooms, and convenient laundry is thoughtfully tucked away on this level. A bonus/game room leads to a spacious 2-bedroom guest apartment, quietly set above the 3-bay garage. This lovely, private setting is enhanced by its convenience to commuter routes and lively downtown Princeton!

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.
