2 Silo Rd, Pennington, NJ 08534

If you crave a great location in Pennington designed by world-famous architect Robert A.M. Stern, featured as Life Magazine's Dream House, and set on almost 2 acres backing to preserved land, look no farther. Soaring and generous spaces, a flexible open plan that brings light and the outdoors in, and practical touches combine to make this stunning home a stylish delight for family, friends and entertaining. Stroll or bike to the heart of town and all three schools in the top-rated Hopewell Valley Regional System or the Pennington School, or visit the nearby trail to appreciate nature and a sense of quiet country. The centerpiece is a spectacular two-story great room, enhanced with a focus on the fireplace and three sets of large French doors that open onto a long pillared mahogany porch looking out onto woods; from the upper windows glimpse sky, treetops and the moon rising. Flowing from this stunning room are the kitchen and breakfast/sitting area, so great for keeping the cook company informally any time of day. The kitchen was completely renovated by the current owners to showcase top appliances (Thermador oven and Miele speed oven), beautiful custom cabinetry, a coffee bar, and new backsplash and lighting, while maintaining the generous pantry conveniently near the entry from the garage and laundry. (Note the extra height of garage doors and ceiling, one of those thoughtful touches.) On the other side of the kitchen is a room, accented with grass wall paper, that can be a formal dining room, a spacious office or studio/project/playroom. Note too the polished oak floors, redone in a darker hue, that unite the entire design, and the custom lighting throughout the main floor. Completing the main floor, the hallway offers an elegantly remodeled powder room and from there the luxurious master bedroom, now so coveted for privacy. It features a curved wall with plantation-shuttered windows, tray ceiling and molding lighting, plus a large walk-in closet and a glamorous bath with separate shower, Jacuzzi and personal cabinet. Upstairs, hardwood floors add elegance to three large bedrooms configured with architectural interest, proving bedrooms don't have to be just boxes. The full-footprint basement has storage galore and extra courses for high ceilings, inviting plans for finishing if or when desired. Minutes to Princeton, I-95 and on to the airports north and south.
