Cross the little stone bridge over a spring-fed pond and wind your way up the hill to the picture-perfect entry of this solidly built home just 3 miles from downtown Princeton, offering loads of graciously detailed space and a country estate lifestyle on 4.29 acres. A parking court and an extra detached garage let you extend an invite to all your friends for poolside fun and gatherings out on the stone terrace, where the views are absolutely idyllic. Multiple French doors open to this heavenly scene, three of them in the central great room. Schumacher wallpaper in the celebration-sized dining room is right on theme, reminding you of the setting even after sunset. A butler’s pantry with two wine fridges supplements the sunny kitchen, where terra cotta tile and a brick archway lend warm character. There’s plenty of space for a sitting area beside island seating, all surrounded by casement windows. Take your pick of primary suites: an entire first floor wing with a den, dressing room and huge bath or the upstairs corner suite with an adjacent walk-in cedar closet and expansion possibilities into the attic. Two more bedrooms and an office with built-ins, share a hall full bath and a huge third suite gives guests all the space and privacy they could want. Still more finished space exists on the lower level, including a family room with one of the home’s three fireplaces and a rec room served by a half-bath. Through a workshop and pool storage room, you’ll discover a greenhouse, where you can exercise your green thumb within sight of the pool. A newer roof and whole-house generator keep this house dry and functional no matter the weather! This special property is around the bend from Pretty Brook Racquet Club and close to several of the area’s top schools, public and private.
