Completely transformed in 2022 with over $600K of gorgeous upgrades! Tucked away on five serene acres in Lawrence Township with a Princeton address, 276 Carter Road offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and convenience. Set well back from the road and behind a gated entrance, this extraordinary residence is tucked in an area of luxury level homes. Just minutes away from many opportunities including the top-tier private and Ivy League schools, the renowned Jasna Polana golf course, McCarter Theater and Princeton's vibrant downtown. Thoughtfully reimagined and completely renovated, this residence caters to today's upscale modern lifestyle with an open, flowing floor plan, dedicated work-from-home spaces, and exquisite design details throughout. Stunning glass-paneled French doors opens into the grand two-story foyer with wide white oak flooring, setting the tone for this home’s casual elegance. Straight ahead is the sun room bathed in natural light, framed by full-height windows that showcase picturesque views of the in-ground pool and majestic tree-line beyond. The expansive front-to-back great room offers an inviting space for daily living or numerous guests, featuring a cozy gas fireplace and access to the new home office. This sophisticated workspace offers custom built-in cabinetry and serene views, great for productivity and relaxation. The open dining area accommodates large gatherings with a separate dedicated beverage station (with 92 bottle Thermador wine fridge, sink with glass washer, and floating shelves) ensures effortless entertaining and offers a seamless transition to outdoor living. At the heart of the home is the gourmet Kitchen, a masterpiece of both form and function, designed for the entertainer and the culinary enthusiast alike. It features two expansive quartz topped islands, providing ample seating, prep, and serving space. White Foxcraft cabinetry with quartz backsplash and gold-toned hardware adds a touch of opulence, while state-of-the-art Thermador appliances include a 48” six-burner gas range with griddle and pot-filler, a 36” column refrigerator and freezer plus two Sapphire dishwashers. A Kraus oversized workstation sink (with cutting board, drying rack, and strainer attachments) makes prep a breeze while beautiful walnut lined pantry and appliance garages keep countertops pristine. Adding to the home’s thoughtful design is the well-appointed mudroom, with heated flooring, built-in cabinetry and second beverage refrigerator, adjacent to a beautify designed full bath. Upstairs, five (5) beautifully designed bedrooms provide luxurious retreats. The exquisite primary suite is a serene sanctuary with two walk-in closets with custom built-ins and the spa-like en suite bath with high-end finishes including heated floors, a stand alone soaking tub and spacious walk-in shower. Additionally, the two Jack-and-Jill suites with equally tasteful baths complete the upper level, offering both comfort and convenience for family and guests. Additional features include a two-car garage equipped with an EV charger and smart home upgrades throughout enhance both comfort and efficiency. On the exterior, the lushly landscaped grounds and inviting in-ground salt water pool and patio area make an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining or peaceful solitude. 276 Carter Road presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a highly sought-after location. Experience the desirable combination of privacy, style, and convenience.
