Property Description
Envision a life where your backyard transforms into a private paradise. Picture a sparkling pool, meticulously maintained for a refreshing dip at any time, a professional-grade doubles tennis court illuminated for thrilling night matches, and access to a picturesque golf course. This 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom mini-estate on 1.18 acres makes that dream a reality.
As you approach this stately home, you?re greeted by majestic stone lions and century-old trees, evoking a deep sense of history and prestige. A circular drive reveals sprawling gardens, a Roman-style pavilion, a welcoming pool, a tennis court, and a charming pool house with a fireplace?your very own leisure haven. The parking lot can park 15 cars for hosting a party. From the upper floors, enjoy sweeping views of the Delaware River and the Trenton Country Club Golf Course. The entire siding of the house is clad in rare, millennium-aged cedar from Canada, which is no longer available on the market. The brand on the antique iron fence hints at the home?s possible connection to the iconic Sears Magnolia series houses.
Step inside through the grand entrance, where a coat closet and umbrella stand showcase the home?s meticulous attention to detail. The spacious hallway, adorned with oak stair railings and classic woodwork, reflects exceptional quality and craftsmanship. To the left, a 400+ square-foot living room features a marble fireplace and double French doors that open to the outdoor pavilion. Beyond, a 350+ square-foot family room offers a stone fireplace, a wet bar, and views of the pool.
To the right of the entrance, discover an elegant dining room with original wallpaper, adjacent to a sunroom with new windows?a versatile space perfect for work or relaxation. The bright kitchen boasts a vintage St. Charles design, lovingly preserved in pristine condition. A cozy banquette, a breakfast room, and rich woodwork throughout add to the home?s charm. The breakfast room, complete with a fireplace, and a small back porch provide a quiet retreat. The first floor also features a full bathroom and a half bath, with seven doors leading outside for easy garden access.
The second-floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, each pair sharing a full bath. The master suite, spanning over 400 square feet, includes a half bath, a dressing room, and a balcony overlooking the lush rear yard. The third-floor features 5th bedroom, additional loft area and a generous cedar-lined closet, resistant to insects.
The property also includes a fully basemen with side outdoor, brimming with potential for customization according to your vision.
Beneath the carpets lie stunning walnut floors. The home is equipped with a security system and has undergone nearly $200,000 in upgrades over the past three years, including a new roof(50 years warranty), special gutters (20 years warranty), air conditioners (2 zones, 8 split wall units), sunroom windows, plumbing, pool, and landscaping.
This elegant home is ready for your personal touch. With a fresh coat of paint, the removal of old carpets, and a few minor repairs, you can restore it to its full grandeur.
This stately home is convenient to major routes, shopping, the train and airport! Very nice and safe neigh hood. Being sold together with an additional irregular sized lot making the actual lot size almost 2 acres.
