The 1.4-acre grounds surrounding this expanded William Thompson-designed home are just as captivating as the character-rich interiors. A new bluestone patio and walkways lead to a completely renovated free-form pool and spa. Specimen plantings and flower-draped arbors further enhance the big fenced yard and front courtyard, complete with a trickling stone fountain. Inside, refinished hardwood floors brighten up the living spaces, beginning with the family room, where a big brick fireplace makes a warm and inviting statement. Dressed in stylish steely blue, the kitchen is equipped with premium appliances by Thermador and Bosch. Pull up a seat at the island, get comfortable in the sunny breakfast nook or host meals in the dining room, where a new picture window perfectly showcases the beautiful backyard. The great room with a new high-efficiency wood stove flows out to the stone-floor sunroom with hand-hewn beams and skylights overhead. Continue past a wet bar and powder room to the unexpectedly show-stopping first floor main suite. Separate bathrooms and walk-in closets are the ultimate luxury and a volume tray ceiling clad in wood is grand, yet relaxed, soaring over a fireplace and French doors. Upstairs, three more full baths with brand new white quartz countertops serve four sizable bedrooms. In addition to a new roof and gutters, new water heater and softener, fresh paint inside and out, and meticulous maintenance to every system, the house is plumbed and ready for future conversion to natural gas. All the tranquility of a country home nestled within an established neighborhood, 5 miles from downtown Princeton and less than 3 miles from quaint Hopewell Borough, with selection of top schools in every direction.
