    What's special

    Owner is a NJ Licensed Realtor. Privately nestled one thousand feet from the road, and only 4 miles from downtown Princeton, you will find this gated, very private property created for the most illustrious homeowner. This estate will be a one of a kind masterpiece once completed this Spring, 2021. Quintessential classic architecture and timeless design choices, including classic brick accents, soaring ceilings and wide, dark natural hardwood floors throughout, this home seamlessly blends indoors with the natural elements outdoors. Situated on 11 acres, the expansive views of plush landscaping and mature trees offer privacy and serenity. The grand entry foyer leads to a stunning dining room, living room, home office, eat-in chef's kitchen, family room, and large guest bedroom, all with generous fenestration. A grand stairway leads to five bedrooms on the second floor, all with their own bath, including a grand master bedroom with his / hers closets as well as his / hers bathrooms. Additionally, you will find a second laundry room, and den / TV, family room, game room and an additional staircase which leads you downstairs to the first floor family room. A mirrored curved staircase provides the entrance to the lower level that offers plenty of sunshine, and high ceilings. This floor, larger than some homes, is a complete indoor retreat, with a full-size bar, recreation room, kids playroom, theater room, another full bath, wine room, infrared spa and large indoor endless swimming pool. Just 4 miles to downtown Princeton and located in the middle of NYC and Philadelphia, the estate lies between the TPC Gary Player designed Jasna Polana Golf Club Course and The Ridge at Back Brook, a Tom Fazio design. With beaches and ski resorts, each an hour away, you are not too far from any activity your family could ever desire throughout the four seasons of the year. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property for the most discerning guest. Renter is responsible for electric, cable and gas. Landlord is responsible for water, snow removal and lawn care.
