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. At the center of the first level are the family/game room, spacious enough for a seating area and billiards table, and a cookâs kitchen with island seating, breakfast nook, white cabinets and appliances, and pale gray accents at the counters and on the floors. 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 roof was replaced in 2009. Location wise, the home is minutes from New Hope, and Lambertville and a short drive to Princeton, Pennington, and Hopewell.
