Princeton NJ Home for Sale

This crisp white mid-century house enjoys a serene setting in the storied Western Section of Princeton. While each space is one-of-a-kind, it's the front-to-back Great Room that makes the most lasting impression with its beamed ceiling, espresso-stained wood floors and stone fireplace.

Hopewell NJ Home for Sale

Just around the corner from Brick Farm Tavern and close to Hopewell Borough, is 75+ acre Freestone Farm, a truly extraordinary offering in Hopewell Township. A perfect marriage of stone, timber and glass, the main house, built in 2001, was designed by prominent architect James Cutler of Cutler Anderson Architects in Seattle, Washington. Cutler's houses can be found throughout the United States, including perhaps most notably Bill and Melinda Gates' house in Washington state. A handful of Cutler's designs are in the east; Freestone is the sole Cutler house in New Jersey.Cutler is known for his exquisite ability to site a house within an existing landscape and this property is no exception: the main house is built on the ruins of a bank barn. With only the back wall of the barn surviving, and with its stone bays separated by stone piers, Cutler was inspired to use the bays to define the spaces on both the first and second floors. Cutlers design also takes inspiration from two buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright: Graycliff in Buffalo, NY, and Frank Lloyd Wrights own home, Taliesin, in Wisconsin.The first floor features a semi-open floor plan, soaring ceilings, 28-foot spans of repurposed Douglas-fir, a fieldstone fireplace and a kitchen that is state of the art. On the second floor, each bay defines one bedroom, except for the main bedroom, which takes the space of two. Every room showcases breathtaking views of the 75+ acres. Several expansive bluestone terraces, one with an outdoor fireplace, face south and west.In addition to the approximately 41 acres on which the main house is situated, this sale includes a separate, adjoining 35 acre lot. Both lots are substantially preserved. However, the separate lot also has a residential building opportunity and may be developed consistent with local zoning and planning requirements. Private walking trails extend within the property, some through old growth forest. A public walking trail, administered by the N.J. Trails Association, runs through the western end of the land. A solar field provides much of the electricity and periodic rebate checks for surplus production from Clean Choice Energy. An energy-efficient heat pump system cools and heats the house, also reducing costs. Some of the acreage is in farmland assessment.In addition to the main house, the charming original farmhouse, linked to the main house by a raised bluestone walkway also designed by architect Cutler, is perfect for guests or an inspiring place to work or play. 5 books have been written by Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone and Wild Trees, within its antique walls.

A stream with a swimming hole thats lored to have cooled George Washingtons soldiers during the Revolutionary War runs along the eastern side.Sale includes Lot 42.02Q 39.16 ac and Lot 56 34.96 ac which are partially preserved.

While the 2-bedroom, 1-bath house is being sold as-is and requires TLC to transform into the charmingly cozy cottage it could be, it is a much more private alternative to a condo or townhouse. The backyard is circled by greenery and tidy pavers lead to an attached carport, along with guest parking. A fireplace, built-in bookshelves and hardwood floors lend character to the interior. You may even choose to restore the uncommon metal casement windows. Many houses along this desirable, sidewalk-lined stretch of road have been enlarged or built from the ground up in recent years, making this an easy choice for builders, as well. In a center-of-town location like this, you really cant go wrong!

A side entrance hall with Dutch door provides easy access to the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a butcher block island and a second sink serving a handy coffee bar.

By day, a wall of French doors ushers in light and gives way to a tiered stone patio. Be sure to peek in at the cleverly designed powder room before heading upstairs, where four bedrooms and an office share two tiled bathrooms. Some may choose to use the trio of spaces atop the back staircase as a full-service, closet-lined main suite with the laundry right at arms reach. Perhaps the best surprise of all is the skylit, top floor office/studio and a catwalk library that peers down over the sidewalk below. This is the quintessential Tree Streets charmer, only better!

Tucked into a sweeping 29-acre canvas of rolling hills and agriculturally preserved countryside, this former vineyard is not just a property but a promise: a promise of possibility, of restoration, and of reconnection with the land in a way that few properties can offer. Though the vines have been retired, the landscape still hints at its past life where grapes sourced from the esteemed Herman J. Wiemer Vineyard in the Finger Lakes once flourished in the sun-drenched fields. What remains today is a rare and soulful opportunity for someone with vision. There are two separate residences on the property. The rustic main house, designed in an Adirondack lodge style, is rich with character from its soaring great room to its rough-hewn beams, massive stone fireplace and inviting nooks. Though technically a two-bedroom, the larger house offers a flexible layout with additional rooms ready to become bedrooms, offices, or whatever your needs may be. Nearby, a smaller log cottage echoes the same charm, with its own adaptable floor plan. Outbuildings include a large pole barn ripe for reinvention. The pool, though currently in need of a rebuild, sits as a reminder of what the property once was and could be again with care and creativity. Perhaps the most unique aspect of this offering lies in what isnt set in stone. This is not a turnkey home, but it is a legacy in waiting. Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring a storied property back to life. PLEASE NOTE: Each of the 2 residential buildings has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms: Total bedrooms and bathrooms for this listing is 4/4. This property is preserved under an agricultural easement. At present, the property does not qualify for farmland assessment, however, that tax status could be restored by the new owner. Property being offered strictly AS IS.
