While Georgian architecture was certainly in style when Gen. Washington crossed the nearby Delaware River, this home built in 1989 deftly combines the classic lines of a bygone era with all the modern amenities. This gracious home is also ideal for casual entertaining.Set back on 3.25 acres, the home is at the top of a gracefully curved driveway that ends at the attached three-car garage. The brick front landing leads to a double-wide door that opens into a two-story foyer, the centerpiece of which is a spectacular split staircase.To the left is the formal dining room, and to the right, the formal living room and then a home office.

Tall windows, French doors and skylights flood the lower level with light, while elegant woodwork near and at the ceilings draw the eye upward. Two woodburning fireplaces, in the living and family rooms, are inviting focal points.At the top of the stairs, enter the master suite through a double-wide door. A sleeping area adjoins a sitting area with fireplace and private balcony. A nearby dressing area leads to two walk-in closets and a bathroom that provides a true spa experience, from the cool tile against your toes to the deep oval soaking tub beneath a bank of windows and skylights. A glass-door shower with built-in bench seating is nearby, twin sinks bookend the room, and a bidet and private toilet complete the layout.A carpeted Jack-and-Jill suite occupies one end of the second level, and two additional carpeted bedrooms share a hall bath at the other end.The area surrounding the home is as elegant as its interior, with a screened porch that converts to a sunroom and an inground heated pool that is nicely sized.The homeowners have lavished plenty of attention on the home in recent years, with fresh paint on the deck, porch and the kitchen cabinets, and the installation of a new well pump, a water filtration/softening system, two automatic garage door openers, safety pool cover, washer and dryer, furnace, water heater, ADT alarm system and A/C compressors. The basement was steam cleaned and the driveway repaved.

The most stunning feature in this gorgeous home is the two-story family room, where a gas fireplace with stone surround stretches to the coffered ceiling with boxed beams.

East meets West in this thoroughly renovated ranch rambler, where Japanese architectural influences and contemporary design elements merge playfully to create a home that is welcoming and ethereal. At the front, a custom made wood and glass entry reminiscent of classic Zen Shoji doors opens to a pebbled garden where a fiddle leaf fig takes pride of place beneath a sloped ceiling of skylights. Behind it, a footbridge joins the open living room with vaulted ceiling to the newly renovated contemporary cook's kitchen at the heart of the home. Here, a large stainless-steel-topped center island with seating for five provides an easy-to-maintain work space; flanked on either side by sleek ceiling-high cabinets, white granite counters, and cedar-toned base cabinets, and outfitted with a Thermador induction cooktop, built-in wall oven and side-by-side fridge, this kitchen inspires and accommodates creative collaboration. Nearby are a large family room with wood-burning fireplace, a dining room with Japanese wooden shades in the windows, a laundry room, pantry and access to the two-car garage. At the opposite end of the home, find a master bedroom with deep walk-in closet and custom cedar closet, a full bath with glass-doored shower, and a half bath with a unique, poured concrete table sink. Downstairs, three carpeted bedrooms share a full bath with double vanity. An unfinished room offers potential as a play space or home office, and abundant closets throughout mean no shortage of storage options. On the home's main level, gleaming teak floors and stained cedar beams and trim pay homage to a Japanese reverence for grained wood, while along the back of the home, mostly glass walls frame unobstructed views of the meticulously landscaped backyard, where a gentle slope is ideal for sledding. A trio of sliders offer easy access to the stone patio from the dining room, living room and master bedroom. The home's many improvements include all-new bathrooms, wall-to-wall carpeting on the lower level, neutral paint throughout, the kitchen, all new windows and sliders, and a top-of-the-line Weil-McLain gas burner. Situated on a corner lot of nearly three-quarters of an acre, the home is in between three nature preserves (Herrontown Woods Arboretum, Gulick Preserve and Van Dyke Wright), close to Carnegie Lake, and within strolling distance of Princeton University and the downtown.
