The two-story foyer is flooded with natural light streaming through the front doors sidelights, transom and clerestory window. To the right, an elegant den with crimson-hued walls and tall windows framed with cream moldings, leads into the family room, where a wood burning fireplace is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling stone and built-in bookcases. A wet bar is conveniently tucked behind a pocket door. Next is the stunning kitchen, featuring solid cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, including a wall oven with warming drawer. Three pairs of sliding French doors, evenly spaced in the family room and kitchen, lead to the raised bluestone deck overlooking the serene rear yard, with built-in, fenced-in pool. At the heart of the kitchen, a see-through fireplace with gas insert goes a long way toward coziness here and in the living room, which adjoins the dining room. Upstairs, a spacious landing overlooks the foyer, and enjoys a view, through the clerestory window, of a decorative balcony. At one end of the home, the master suite stretches from the front to the back of the home.

In the spa bathroom, an oversized tub with jets nestles beneath an angled skylight, while a heated rack warms towels near the glass-enclosed steam shower featuring overhead shower head and four body sprayers. Outside the master suite, a spacious cedar-lined closet stores out-of-season woolens and furs. The remaining three bedrooms include a princess suite with private bath, and a Jack-and-Jill set up with hall bath. Set on three acres and enjoying a private feel, and views of woods and a creek (a tributary of Bedens Brook), this home is conveniently located near Routes 518 and 206, and within easy commuting distance of the Brunswicks, Somerville, Hillsborough and Princeton, with its vibrant downtown and amazing history.
