About this home

Only 10 minutes from the historic towns of Princeton and Hopewell Borough, this exceptional estate nestles deeply into its leafy setting, privately enfolding its 3 beautifully-finished levels, indoor and outdoor pools, and 6+ glorious acres. Resort-style luxury fills the home, from the Great Room, whose ample windows and fireplace climb two stories, to the recently renovated kitchen, which gleams with a suite of Wolf appliances, quartz counters, and a stunning quartzite backsplash. Atrium doors lead to an outdoor paradise comprised of a terrace, pool, and pool house - all backed by picturesque woods. Indoor relaxation is also a priority in the window-wrapped indoor pool, a finished basement with a gym and rec room, and a cherry-paneled library that opens to its own terrace. 5 bedrooms and 3 baths include the volume master suite, sublime with space and light. The clever design of the 2-room master bath allows all to enjoy the spa room and the clawfoot tub. An elevator is a bonus in this well-built home, connecting all floors. Princeton address.
