New to the market is one of the first homes built in Brandon Farms. Cherished by only one family since, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with front and back staircases is ready for new owners.
From the front porch, which sits atop a welcoming brick stairway, enjoy views of the neighborhood and the professionally landscaped yard dotted with specimen trees, shrubs and gurgling water fountain features.
The grand scale continues inside with a 2-story foyer filled with natural light from the transom, sidelights and a clerestory window atop a display ledge, and 9-foot ceilings in the main rooms. To the right, a home office with private full bath and roomy closet could easily be a bedroom. To the left, a formal living room adjoins the dining room, with pillared half-walls to mark the transition.
The eat-in kitchen with island and spacious pantry opens to a maintenance-free deck overlooking a deep backyard, and to the 2-story family room where built-in bookcases flank a gas fireplace and the back wall is filled two rows of windows topped by Palladian arches. It is the perfect place from which to enjoy nature’s majesty as the seasons change.
The second level, reachable by a staircase from the family room and a turned staircase from the foyer, offers three carpeted bedrooms sharing a hall bath with twin vanities and a private bath/shower. The master suite enjoys a heart-shaped jetted soaking tub, glass shower, double vanity and private toilet, a soaring vaulted ceiling, and a generously sized walk-in closet. The landing overlooks the family room and has a bank of cabinets with countertop perfect for a coffee station for lazy weekend mornings.
Additional living space awaits in the finished basement, set up as a media room at one end and offering concealed storage and enough room housing a home gym at the other.
The star of the attached two-car garage is the motorized lift capable of holding up to 3,000 pounds. A mud/laundry room entry with a deep closet connects the garage to the family room.
As part of the Brandon Farms community, homeowners enjoy a number of amenities, including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, playgrounds. and clubhouse. Too many amenities to list, a must see!
Location-wise, there is very little through-traffic, and access to local shops and eateries, commuter routes (including Routes 1, 206 and 95), and short drives to Princeton, Lawrenceville and nearby train stations with service to New York City and Philadelphia.
