Charm, convenience, and privacy blend in this beautiful property to create a one-of-a-kind home. Balancing old and new, it offers the opportunity to live in an updated, fully renovated house without sacrificing features that make older homes so special. As you enter the door through a cheery front porch, you are struck by the character and warmth of the interior, highlighted by period details and Brazilian cherry floors. The large living room features high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with custom marble surround, and crown molding. A pretty dining room, also with lovely trim work, and a cozy den/office with gas fireplace and custom built-ins, provide plenty of options for flexible everyday living. The highlight of the main floor is the chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero, Miehle and Electrolux appliances. The kitchen also features a travertine natural stone floor with radiant heat for chilly days; custom cabinetry with inset doors, soft-close drawers, and plenty of storage space; with a lovely Mercer tile backsplash providing just the right note of casual elegance. Outside of the kitchen is a large deck perfect for al fresco dining. You access the second floor either by the charming main staircase at the front of the house or convenient back stairs. The master suite is made up of a well-proportioned bedroom, large walk-in closet, and luxurious bathroom with double sinks, radiant heat flooring, and a huge tumbled marble shower with rain-head, hand-held control, and built-in seat. There are two more bedrooms upstairs and a fully-renovated hall bath. The laundry room is conveniently located on this level and has been thoughtfully designed with custom storage for linens, built-in cabinets, dedicated laundry sink, and stackable washer/dryer. The floored attic provides loads of extra storage, as does the basement with convenient outside access. Updated systems include a sophisticated two-zone HVAC system and updated 200 amperage electrical service, as well as a new roof and gutter system (replaced 2016). The nearly half-acre lot features professional landscaping, salt water pool, brick paver patio, and six-foot privacy fence. A lush backdrop of specimen trees and flowering shrubs sets the scene for easy entertaining and day-to-day living alike. There is also a two car garage with an attached studio or 4th bedroom with half bath. With award winning T/E schools, convenience to major transportation, and walk to train location, this property has it all!

R4
Residence District
R-4 Residence Districts are designed to provide high intensity development opportunities in selected locations of the Township. These districts are intended for areas with sufficient infrastructure of roads, public water, public sewer, sidewalks and pathways, and are planned to be located primarily near places where one can shop and/or work. As such, the R-4 Districts permit the highest densities of residential use and allow for the greatest variety of housing types.
