Elegant, modern contemporary style home with spa-like amenities, simply your own sanctuary, located across the street from top-ranked Hopewell Valley high school and Timberlane Middle school yet steps away from the village of Pennington, a vibrant small Victorian town with appealing shops and restaurants. Set off from the street, with a buffer of mature trees and bushes, the property offers a sense of being tucked away in the country, despite its proximity to town. Just off the two level deck, you will find one of the home~s many special features, the salt-water pool with sun shelf, which is partially surrounded by a dramatic stone foundation wall that lends a thrilling note of antiquity to the outdoor space, so perfect for family gatherings or large scale entertaining. The main (upper) floor has a flexible open floor plan with a huge, sunny living room featuring a soaring vaulted ceiling and gleaming Brazilian cherry floors, as well as a modern wood-burning fireplace with high-efficiency insert in a handsome stone surround. An updated gourmet kitchen has cherry cabinets, sparkly granite counters, sleek Bosch appliances, 5 burner induction cooktop, island with seating, walk in pantry and an adjacent seating area for casual dining. Also on this floor are a spacious office, airy dining room, and rounding out this main floor are a full bath (new, as are all of the baths), an additional office, and a large adjacent room that could serve as media room, guest quarters, or family bedroom. The lower level of the house contains a hidden surprise~a cedar-lined hot tub room, with views of the lush back yard. All three lower-level bedrooms are spacious and look out to the back yard, where greenery is all that meets the eye. The master bedroom features sumptuous private bath, luxurious shower and walk in closet, while the two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, designed with exquisite modern flair. This home is all about beauty, relaxation and tranquility. From the lower level, access the large 2-car garage with workshop space, or amble out to the private yard, big enough for a baseball game or neighborhood picnic. The home also boasts energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, tons of closet space, and two well-kept outbuildings, one has with electricity; use your imagination for this bonus space.
