ONCE IN A LIFETIME a property like this becomes available. A Hopewell Township landmark, this glorious complex consists of a cottage, a barn, and the house itself. Four acres of breathtaking beauty provides the backdrop for three of the coolest buildings ever. Built in 1798, yet having every modern amenity, the cottage is the first building you see on one side, as you come onto the property. With white clapboard siding, walls of paned windows, and charming cupola, this one bedroom dwelling can be used as guest quarters or studio. With a cathedral-type, beamed ceiling, you would be hard-pressed to decide which room is your favorite. As well, it offers a large living room / great room with beamed ceiling, perfectly designed and outfitted kitchen, study and adorable full bath. Crafted so long ago, yet coaxed into modern times by a masterful architect, you might have to fend off guests or family members who want to stay here. Down the drive a bit, you will find the main house, with its architectural style in sync with the cottage, yet privately tucked in among trees and gardens. The natural wood Dutch door is welcoming, and is flanked by two sets of transomed windows. Above one set of windows is a balcony, leading your eye back to the center of the building, and the two brick chimneys above. One way to enter the house is through the Dutch door, which is what you would choose for daily life. However, the formal entrance is a beauty, with the front door flanked by sidelights and fanlight window. Glowing wide-width pine floor accentuates the seemingly endless entry hallway, having the living room on one side and the formal dining room on the other, with the beautiful antique floors continuing in both. The kitchen, as charming as the rest of the house, features a curved wall of windows surrounding a spacious eating area, painted whitewashed wooden ceiling, skylights, and blue and white checkerboard floor. Boookshelves, cupboards, and plenty of paned windows create a congenial environment. On the first floor is also a family room and mudroom. The second floor offers the Master bedroom, complete with a dressing area and ensuite bath plus two very large bedrooms and an additional full bath. On the third floor as if this were not enough, is an additional bedroom and full bath. There is an entertainment barn just waiting for parties, hobbies and celebrations of every kind. Enter this incredible space, and let your imagination run wild! Exposed beams, a first floor large enough to play basketball, and additional second floor space create the memories everyone dreams about. Terraces, gardens, and a peaceful pond to all your own ---who says dreams can't come true?! Want to see the virtual tour https://youtu.be/UQHbq1chdWk~~ 2020-07-28
