Rustic, woodsy surroundings envelope an Italian Villa-style home built by Lewis Barber on nearly 4 acres in Princeton. Rather than fight nature, the home savors its maintenance-free, sun-dappled backdrop. Countless French doors open to balconies with treetops views, as well as the gated front courtyard, where a cascading koi pond and pool glisten beneath a stone terrace. A pergola shelters the walk to the main entrance, which reveals a dramatic foyer with stone floor and custom iron stair rail inspired by the setting. Huge fireplaces and textured plaster walls lend warmth to the formal rooms. A butler's pantry with bar separates the kitchen and its glorious breakfast room. Islands topped with granite and stained wood, 2 Sub Zeros and a recessed double Viking range cater to the chef's every need. Separate wings are dedicated to guests, children and the master. Atop the back stairs, 3 bedrooms with 2 baths radiate from an open playroom. A sitting room with fireplace and a resort-worthy mosaic tiled bath adjoin the paneled master bedroom. Follow stairs to further spa-like amenities, including a gym and indoor Jacuzzi. An office, library, wine tasting room, home theater and billiards room with bar are all impeccably finished for a private club feel right at home. A lit tennis court just inside the gated grounds completes the experience.
