Behind this nearly new 2019 luxury home, just a few doors down from Riverside School, a landscape-architect-designed backyard strikes the perfect balance between natural and manicured. A covered deck presents the ideal spot to gaze over this private sanctuary, served by a smart in-ground irrigation system that also keeps the lush front lawn picture-perfect. Large windows bring green views into open living spaces defined by custom molding and coffered ceilings, while Lutron smart light switches set the mood with a tap. A big gas fireplace anchors the family room and a second one in the living room is clad in stone. The chef’s kitchen boasts a commercial-style fridge and a Thermador double range, and entertainers will love the extra-thick quartzite island and nearby beverage bar. Overnight guests enjoy a roomy apartment-style suite with its own entrance, or, if stairs are a burden, a first-floor office/bedroom. The lower level was finished to the highest standards: a professionally designed gym, full bath, and flexible play or gaming zones spread out at the base of the open staircase. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are private suites with walk-in closets and distinctive details, while the primary pampers with dual customized closets and a palatial marble bath overlooking the treetops. Every detail was considered, right down to the finely finished mudroom and Belgian-block-edged driveway with extra parking. Whole-home Ethernet wiring, a standby generator, and ceiling speakers in several areas, both inside and out, add even more 21st-century convenience. Square footage per Princeton Twp tax assessor.
