Warm and welcoming, this cheerful home has been thoughtfully renovated, with more attention to detail than you can imagine. From the antique oak floors made of random-width planks reclaimed from a 150-year-old Kentucky tobacco barn, to the kitchen designed intuitively to anticipate every cooking need, from the heated blue stone floor and shower on the lower level, to the garden colorfully planted for near-year-round interest, this exquisitely designed home, terrace and garden retain the charm ofan older residence, with all the convenience of modern living. Entering through the front door, find yourself at the center of the home, where a lighted nook at the staircase is ready to showcase a treasured heirloom. The living room, with its wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases and cabinetry, and concealed stereo system provides the perfect place to gather and relax; in warmer months, open the doors to the covered porch, which spans the house, and take in the panoramic view: 1000 square-foot curved stone patio; garden beds richly planted in blue, orange, yellow and chartreuse; and Farmview Park and Pond View woods, which lend a sense of expansive country living on just .9 acres. The dining room is lit by a chic steel chandelier with Swarovski teardrops. A built-in china closet provides convenient storage for crystal, silverware, dishes and platters. The new kitchen, designed by a serious cook for equally serious cooking, features two work areas, each with deep, oversized sinks (one for food prep, the other for cleaning); granite counters; Quality Custom Cabinetry; high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele and Dacor); and a center island. Near the front, a built-in desk and shelves set the stage for menu planning. At the back, sliding doors lead to the deck, where gas plumbing makes year-round grilling possible. The library/den behind the kitchen features a wall of floor-to-ceiling bookcases. The home's second level has a back wall of nearly all glass, offering panoramic views of the yard. The master bath has a double vanity and glass-enclosed shower with overhead nozzle. Three additional bedrooms round out the upstairs and share a bath in the hall. The home's lower level is also finished, with a full shower near the entry (perfect for washing up after a day outdoors), and laundry, game and media rooms. Conveniently located minutes from downtown Princeton, trains and major commuter routes to New York City and Philadelphia.…
