Property Description

On a quiet street, surrounded by sweeping green acreage, this classic brick-front colonial home awaits its next owner with privacy, presence, and an undeniable sense of promise. Large in all the right ways, this residence offers a rare opportunity to reimagine a spacious property that feels more like a private park than a backyard.

The welcoming entry opens into a cozy sitting area with cathedral ceilings, filling the space with natural light and a sense of airy openness. Timeless hardwood floors run throughout. The bright, dine-in kitchen features a breakfast bar, modern upgraded appliances and fixtures, and a sunlit dinette surrounded by windows. A sliding door opens onto a large deck and a truly stunning backyard—perfect for entertaining, gardening, or enjoying quiet mornings. The view from the kitchen sink might even make dishwashing enjoyable! Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a walk-in pantry and a well-designed mudroom with laundry, and access to the 3-car garage. Both formal and informal living and dining spaces offer flexible layout options for modern living. A dedicated first-floor office, currently used as a bedroom, provides valuable flexibility for guests, or work-from-home arrangements. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer ample room for every stage of life. The primary suite includes its own private bath and his-and-her walk-in closets. A large basement provides even more potential—perfect for a home gym, recreation room, studio, or additional living space. Located in the highly regarded Franklin Township School District, with access to award-winning charter and magnet schools, this home is also just minutes from the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park, Six Mile Run Reservoir, and major commuter routes like Route 27, Route 1, and NJ Transit stations—offering easy access to Princeton, New Brunswick, and NYC. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the home features semi-solar heating, large south-facing windows for passive warmth, excellent thermal insulation, and a planned air-circulation system for natural heating and cooling. A central fireplace and chimney offer cozy, wood-fired comfort in the cooler months, and the open-plan layout ensures a seamless natural flow throughout the main living spaces. This solidly built, energy-efficient brick-front colonial combines timeless design with modern updates and sits on a breathtaking 3.37-acre lot. It's a rare find in a coveted location—ready to welcome your vision and your future.
