This stately red brick home, situated on a tranquil block in the heart of Elm Ridge Park, offers the calm of country living less than seven miles from Princeton and countless local amenities, from farm shares to fine dining. Blending traditional elements with creative and contemporary details, this center-hall Colonial features impeccable construction and handsome molding throughout, along with tasteful updates to decor and lighting, a chef's suite of Monogram appliances, with an induction cooktop, a 15kw SunPower solar array, and whole-house backup generator, and many other energy-efficient improvements. A first-floor bedroom and a full bath accommodate guests with ease. Three additional bedrooms above fan from split stairs and a charming alcove central hall with several handy storage closets. The main suite shows off an updated bathroom, double closets, and a custom walk-in closet. The other spacious bedrooms utilize a sweet hall bathroom. The recently finished basement added cozy living space along with a home gym. A mudroom, constructed within the 3-car garage, offers a cleaner, more convenient way in and out of the house. The partially fenced, level yard presents stunning perennial plantings and a brick and bluestone patio with a natural landscape beyond providing privacy and the occasional fox sighting.
