Savoring the view out by the pond, taking a dip in the pool, even just wandering the 5.8-acre grounds, with manicured gardens, flowering trees and stone walls, feel like moments from a Martha's Vineyard getaway. The classically-styled, stone-front house is just as rejuvenating with of-the-moment finishes and an airy, laidback floor plan, which was cleverly adjusted for a more functional mudroom and more. At the same time, in 2017, wood floors were revived and the kitchen redesigned with timeless materials, such as walnut and marble, and high-end appliances, including a Pro-Series SubZero. French doors and a newly tiled fireplace give the gracious formal rooms just enough glimmer, while a tall stone fireplace adds coziness to the 2-story family room. Just outside, a breezy pavilion, full-service pool house and stone patios encircling the pool and spa beckon everyone outdoors. On dreary days, the huge finished basement is priceless. Upstairs, 5 lovely bedrooms all open to stylishly renovated bathrooms. The main suite's dreamy sitting room boasts the most relaxing views of all! Popular meeting spot Brick Farm Tavern and the charming borough of Hopewell are just 2 turns away.
