luxury houses for sale Mercer County, United States (page 2)

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.

In-town convenience meets natural tranquility at a one-of-a-kind property with multiple possibilities. At the very end of an exceedingly quiet and utterly charming little lane, 1.75 acres extend all the way to Mountain Lakes Preserve. Flowering trees add bursts of color to the perimeter of the grassy expanse, where birds and wildlife happily frolic far from any neighborhood noise. Currently, a 1940’s cottage-style cape stands at the forefront of the property. With hardwood floors, an eat-in kitchen and even a 2-car garage, the house is a comfortable refuge for those who prioritize simplicity and setting over the trappings of new construction. Although the house is presented strictly as-is, it has been updated with newer windows and a generator. Building a custom home from scratch is another option, as some owners along the freshly paved street have already done. As the culminating lot and the largest of all, this opportunity is extra special! Not only is the 400-acre “Central Park of Princeton” steps away, the recreational facilities of Community Park are also just down the road.

The modern sensibilities of the current owners prove that fresh, fun and functional can successfully go hand-in-hand with stately ornamentation. The 1.57-acre grounds also support a leisurely lifestyle with a renovated pool, covered porch and 3-car garage to one side.

Inside, ceilings rise well over 12-feet, but feel even loftier above clean white walls washed in sunlight.

Some may choose to use the library off the family room as a bar or create a breakfast nook in the sunroom lined with gracefully arched windows.
