Prepare to be utterly captivated by this breathtaking, one-of-a-kind estate: a four-story, 3,889-square-foot sanctuary, enveloped by 17 acres of pristine wilderness. From the moment you step onto the wraparound covered porch, with its stone entry path, you're greeted by unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The custom front door opens to reveal a soaring open-concept interior, where magnificent exposed beams and beautiful wood floors set the tone for an extraordinary living experience. A stunning four-story staircase winds its way through the home, offering panoramic views at every level. The great room is a masterpiece unto itself, with a jaw-dropping 25-foot cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling replaced Andersen double-pane windows that invite the light of every sunrise and snowfall, and a high-efficiency, wood-burning fireplace. The heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen, is an entertainer's dream. Stainless steel appliances, including a brand-new oven, granite countertops, a barn-door pantry, and a clever under-cabinet drawer microwave create a perfect blend of style and functionality. The first floor also boasts a smart 2-car garage, family room, living room (currently used as gym,) dining room, laundry room, and powder room. On the 2nd level, the primary bedroom suite is a true gem, featuring 16-foot cathedral ceilings, a walk-out balcony with sweeping views of the property, and a spiral staircase that ascends to the third-floor loft. The suite is completed by an opulent primary bath, with porcelain tile, gorgeous shower, an 80 double vanity sink with marble countertops, a hidden toilet, and changing room. Additional bedrooms throughout the home continue the theme of comfort and grandeur, including TWO more beautifully appointed full bathrooms, one with heated soaking tub. The back bedroom is oversized with a dividing wall as well, and fresh paint. Downstairs, a large basement awaits, pool table included, perfect for parties and more. Venture outside, and you'll discover meticulously groomed walking trails, a creek-side campsite with a deck perfect for unwinding, and wild raspberries nestled among black oak, red oak, maple, hickory, and beech trees. The babbling stream in the backyard is teeming with trout, and two sides of the property are lined with an 18th-century stone wall, adding a sense of historical significance to this majestic retreat. Every detail of this home has been carefully curated: from the newer lifetime roof, replaced HVAC system, newer water softener, and newer pressure tank, to the hardy cement siding, 4-inch aluminum gutters, and outdoor speakers, outlets, and deck rail lights. Home is wired for high-speed internet and enhanced by a cutting-edge smart thermostat and Bluetooth 5.1 audio system. The rebuilt deck and hot tub invite endless outdoor entertaining, while the two 100-amp power panels with generator hookup in the smart garage ensure your comfort and convenience year-round. With a history dating back to the 1700s, this property is steeped in heritage yet outfitted with every modern luxury. Located just minutes from Hopewell, Lambertville, New Hope, Princeton, Pennington, and Flemington, this is more than a home'it's a legacy waiting to be written. |
