luxury houses with pool for sale Mercer County, United States

In a tranquil corner of Princeton, this expansive French Country-inspired estate home sits on nearly five acres of manicured lawns, with glorious trees and plantings, bluestone walkways, terraces, and a reflection pond with fountains on the completely fenced-in grounds. A huge pavilion with lighting and ceiling fans will be the favorite place to dine after a day spent by the colossal free-form swimming pool. This serene poolside retreat includes a sauna and a pool house with a full bath, a changing room, a kitchenette, and a loft. Palatial, yet homey, the interior’s traditional details glimpse its storied past. Princeton’s prominent Pettit family once lived here, and no expense was spared in its construction. From room to room, rich wood paneling, barrel-vaulted archways, window seats, elaborate moldings and woodwork, and fireplaces adorned with marble hearths echo the Gilded Age when homes were built for entertaining on the grandest scale. The kitchen was modernized along with a fireside breakfast room and features top-of-the-line gourmet appliances, multiple dishwashers and sinks, wine storage, and exquisite maple and granite countertops. Two rear staircases add to the home’s functionality, with one in the mudroom that leads to a bedroom wing with a bathroom, ideal for live-in help. The grand front staircase climbs to the other four bedrooms and a home office. The primary suite connects to a charming room that would function beautifully as a nursery or a second home office, and there are two bathrooms, one for each homeowner. The other bedrooms are either en suite or utilize a hall bath. Views of nature's artistry take center stage, with each bedroom window providing another slice of the spectacular landscaping. Additional features include a three-car heated garage with an area for a gym, and the roof was recently replaced. There’s plenty of space on the rolling green lawns for tennis, pickleball, or a sports court if that is on your wishlist

Located in an enclave of just six homes, Old World-inspired architectural detail and all the lavish amenities one could desire are planned to perfection. This in-progress residence is ideal for the discerning buyer who dreams of owning a legacy property, yet values the assurance of new construction. Perhaps customizing final finishes to your individual taste is appealing, but starting from the ground up pushes the realization of your dream too far into the future. Step into this masterfully designed home on magnificent Players Lane and watch your vision unfold with the most cumbersome phases of construction already in the past. Spaces are impressively scaled, but never imposing, with jaw-dropping Lepage windows welcoming in light. Special touches that make an interior stand out are already prepped, like gracefully arched doorways, multiple gas fireplaces and even aquarium plumbing. The list of planned amenities is long and includes items expected from a home of this caliber: an elevator, a wine cellar, a bar, and so on. But an indoor pool with retractable doors and a sky-high cupola ceiling is beyond expectations, along with interior equipment for efficient pool heating complete with a separate entry to ease maintenance. Radiant heat and tanks for wall-mount toilets are in place for all 8 full baths and 4 half baths, including one with exterior access for service personnel. For the bibliophile, the house offers a library, separate from the home manager’s office on the main floor and an additional upper level office. Further upstairs bonus spaces include areas for quiet reflection and a crafts/homework room able to accommodate four desks. Garages for four cars are separated into pairs, ideal for prized vehicles that warrant extra protection. All interior design plans, architectural plans and landscape plans featuring multiple patios and a tennis court will be provided to the buyer and most materials for the completion of the exterior are already on site. Your dream home is well underway and the good life is closer than you ever imagined!

Leave all expectations behind when you come to this imaginatively designed modern home discreetly nestled into Princeton’s Western Section. What appears to be a cozy mahogany-clad house tucked behind stone garden walls is revealed to be a dramatic 2-story modern barn with soaring wood ceilings, expansive windows and a massive 2-sided stone fireplace defining an otherwise wide-open floor plan. The grounds, too, offer so much more than initially meets the eye with a stone terrace with integrated spa overlooking a rolling lawn dotted with impressive trees and a heated gunite pool. The elite team of Lucash Montgomery and A+B Design Lab are responsible for the concept and build of the barn-like structure as well as transforming the pre-existing mid-century home to blend with the new construction. The result is an extraordinary design that lends itself to both intimate nightly dinners and grand-scale entertaining. The kitchen functions like a Michelin-star restaurant with a workhorse Wolf range, full-size Sub-Zeros and an ingeniously designed marble-topped island with a multi-functional trough running down the middle. While there are far too many custom details to list, a translucent floor panel is especially intriguing, a hint that the walk-out lower level is not to be overlooked. This includes a bedroom wing with three large rooms sharing two large bathrooms. Of course, downstairs is where you’ll also find the wine cellar, as well as a family room with yet another fireplace flanked by bookshelves and brightened by more large windows. There's also a versatile gym with a kitchenette and ample access for outdoor entertaining on the spacious bluestone patio. A guest suite is nicely separated, along with an art/craft studio which could accommodate a number of desired functions including a potential sixth bedroom. Custom closets and an additional dedicated laundry room are more conveniences that show this level was thoroughly thought-out. The sun-filled primary suite is situated on its own main floor wing including an ensuite Scandinavian-style bath with a steam shower, frosted glass doors and a wood-wrapped tub as the serene centerpiece. Also nearby is a second laundry room. This stunning property, within a mile of downtown and Princeton University, epitomizes low-key luxury and is like no other in Princeton.
