luxury properties with pool for sale Mercer County, United States

Experience a rare blend of modern design and historic charm in one of Princeton’s most iconic homesteads. A dramatic, comprehensive renovation and expansion have transformed this property into a spacious, light-filled residence perfectly designed for contemporary life. The home’s core, which holds a connection to the area's history dating back to 1742, has been carefully preserved, but its current state is a world away from its original farmhouse origins. This remarkable, one-of-a-kind residence is formally known as The Bouwerie. Inside, the seamless integration of past and present is immediately evident. Original details like hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors, and a walk-in beehive fireplace bring warmth and character, while the sheer scale and flow reflect modern sensibilities. The newer wing, which begins with a welcoming entry beneath a striking stained-glass skylight, dramatically opened the floor plan. This addition created space for a formal living room, sunroom, family room, and powder room, all featuring handcrafted finishes and custom cabinetry. The country-style kitchen bridges the two eras beautifully with a brick-enclosed Aga range and custom pine cabinetry. Below, a finished lower level offers flexible space for a media room, gym, or playroom. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a luxurious retreat with its own sitting area, gas fireplace, dressing room, jetted tub, sauna, double steam shower, and two private porches. The original second floor provides two additional bedrooms and a whimsical bonus room with a private entrance, ideal for guests. Outdoors, the resort-like grounds are equally impressive. A stone patio with a built-in BBQ overlooks a tranquil pond. A 52-foot vanishing-edge pool, an in-ground hot tub, and a formal English knot garden create a private oasis. The four-car garage has also been reimagined, with a finished upper level perfect for an office, studio, or guest suite. The nearly 10 acres could be suitable for additional uses, such as horses and various recreational interests. Thoughtfully expanded and designed to support modern living, come experience how convenience and history live beautifully side by side, just three miles from Nassau Street and Princeton University. Some photos are virtually staged.

Approached by a gated drive, this undeniably romantic 7.3-acre property is reminiscent of a rambling English countryside estate. Stone walls, bay windows and a veranda mark the original residence, while later additions bring even more light-filled space for gracious everyday living, along with a garage connected by a covered walkway. Offering optimal privacy, five bedrooms across three levels are all served by beautifully tiled, renovated, en suite baths. The spacious living room with French doors on both sides is the centerpiece of the home, while a cozy, lower family room with a bar and built-ins is ideal for play or casual entertaining. The big, bright, cathedral kitchen, complete with a 48 Viking range and a beverage fridge, also has a sitting area and work station. The thoughtful design presents a choice of primary suites and quiet spots to work from home, plus a sunny gym with a sauna. This unforgettable home is just 3.5 miles from downtown Princeton and convenient to NYC and Philadelphia. Don’t miss the chance to spend this summer poolside in the shade of the cabana gazing out at bountiful gardens!
