This 6-acre country compound boasts stunning views of rolling land and a 5,033 square foot (source: Montgomery Twp tax accessor) colonial farmhouse dating back to the 1780s, all just minutes to downtown Princeton! Originally a working farm, the property later evolved into a summer destination known as "Camp Delaware" in the 1930s. Today, the 4-bedroom house has been expanded and updated but still pays homage to its roots. The interior features wide plank floors, exposed hand-hewn framing, and antique brickwork, accentuated by soft, simple colors. One of the standout spaces is a sunny addition that opens off the fireside family room, more than doubling the entertainment space. The central kitchen has a modern farmhouse vibe with a drainboard sink and a raised pine breakfast bar island. The main bedroom offers glorious views, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, separate walk-in closets, and a marble-tiled bath. A second suite enjoys a private deck and bathroom. Guests will enjoy the independence of a guest cottage with new floors, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a full kitchen, and its own deck. For those with hobbies, the generous loft space over the barn-style garage can be finished to suit their needs. Smart 21st-century amenities include a whole-house generator and discreet solar panels that bring in extra income.
