luxury contemporary houses for sale Mercer County, United States

Presenting an artful interplay of classic Cape character and contemporary European influence, this dramatically expanded Littlebrook home is defined by sunlight pouring through oversized windows, a thoughtfully designed landscape and an exceptional location - just a hop, skip and a jump from the neighborhood elementary school and Grover Park. Reimagined in 2011 by architect Jon Drezner, the charming home nearly doubled in size with high-ceilinged, skylit additions that transformed everyday living. The open-concept kitchen, dining room and expansive family room are oriented to capture maximum light throughout the seasons, while a sunroom, renovated in 2017, is a quiet spot for wellness or reading. Upstairs, a flexible office with its own balcony adjoins the serene primary suite, which comes complete with a dressing room, second laundry and a Brazilian slate-tiled bath with multi-jet shower. Two more upper bedrooms have generous closets and a first floor bedroom and full bath make any guest feel welcome. Radiant concrete floors, a new furnace, a tankless water heater and updated electrical systems improve efficiency and comfort. Outdoor areas were designed with just as much intention. A pergola-shaded patio joins gardens curated by a certified NJ Master Gardener, featuring native plantings, a rain garden and layered seasonal interest. A gravel driveway, flagstone path and Ilex hedge enhance both sustainability and curb appeal.

Modern meets historic on an incredible double lot, where sidewalks lead to The Lawrenceville School campus and favorite local spots, like The Gingered Peach and Willows Swim Club. While the 1905 “Anchor House”, recognized by the Historic Registry, is fully renovated, the best asset is perhaps the sweeping backyard with a fenced garden area and detached garage loaded with potential. Convert the structure into a guest home, a full-service cabana supporting a future pool or the home gym of your dreams - the possibilities are endless. In front, a broad porch and vestibule entry opens to character-rich details, like big pocket doors, and contemporary upgrades, especially in the stunning kitchen. A suite of black appliances are the pinnacle of style and function with brushed brass knobs. A wood accent wall defines the dining area, a waterfall-edge island offers casual seating and French doors open to the deck with tons of space for meals under the stars. The main level’s refinished hardwood floors transition to coordinating vinyl plank upstairs, where two bedrooms share a handsome hall bath and the primary suite exceeds expectations with a balcony, a big walk-in closet and a roomy bath with an oval tub and a wood-accented seamless glass shower. Charm and sunlight continue up on the third floor, where yet another suite has pretty diamond-paned windows and sweet little reading alcove. Even the basement is fresh and clean with a comfortably high ceiling. Come see this revived Village treasure and imagine all the possibilities of the .55-acre lot!
