Previous Description:
Manor-style residence, situated right on the historic Delaware Canal and Lake Carnegie towpath, has a historic feel akin to the grand 18th century farmhouses of nearby Bucks County, yet offers the environmental forethought and reliability of geothermal systems and the amenities of a modern build. The property is close to 7 acres with a meandering driveway in front and views of Carnegie Lake spanning the back. A historic 2-story barn can act as anything from a woodshop, storage for a car collector, party space or even its original use as a home for animals that can graze in the fenced, pasture-like yard. The stunning house has it all - generous formal rooms for celebrations to remember, an elevator stopping at 3 floors, a full-service au pair/in-law wing and even an indoor lap pool enveloped by stone walls and French doors. While a bit of TLC is needed to revive the hardwood floors and refresh the detailed millwork, it s easy to envision the stunning results. Solid mahogany doors show the quality of materials used throughout and the library displays the most impressive detailing with a coffered ceiling, built-ins and a gas fireplace. A suite of Miele appliances serves the eat-in kitchen with marble countertops and glass-front cabinetry. Upstairs, 3 suites are generously sized, especially the main suite with a dressing room and walk-in closet, plus balcony with a stunning view of Lake Carnegie. A big, dormered bonus room is ideal as an office or game room with billiards table, but could also become another bedroom, if needed. This estate property is within the top-rated West Windsor school district and only 10 minutes from downtown Princeton. A rare opportunity with boundless potential!
