Description

This elegant white brick home, cherished by the same family for over five decades, is situated just a mile from The Lawrenceville School and the restaurants of charming Main Street within the Long Acres enclave. These quiet streets dotted with majestic trees have easy access to I-295, yet the leafy setting is positively idyllic. A sunken bluestone patio, an intimate brick patio and a solarium all bask in the setting. A marble-floored foyer gives way to grandly proportioned rooms with high ceilings and details that you just dont find in newer homes, including deep crown molding, charming niches and five fireplaces. The richly paneled living room is the go-to locale for evening entertaining, while the adjoining sunroom, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows and burnished wood, is magical in the winter and cool in the summer. The large family room and adjoining dining room, complete with a built-in bar, are the light-filled heart of the home. The kitchen offers modern stainless steel appliances and durable granite countertops. With an office and laundry room both adjoining, this wing of the house is a modern multi-taskers dream. Upstairs, four full baths sporting timeless white tile serve five bedrooms, including a two-room apartment-style suite atop the back staircase offering extra privacy for holiday guests or sleepovers. The spacious primary suite is heavenly with a fireplace and three walk-in closets. Storage throughout is plentiful, a rare perk in a period home. Dont skip the basement! With brick flooring and real wood paneling, the game room has a pub-style atmosphere that pleases fun-loving guests of all ages. The acre property includes a parking court neatly edged with Belgian block and pretty garden beds, as well as a separate driveway that leads to the attached 3-bay garage. With this much interior space, unexpected outdoor serenity, unparalleled convenience and undeniable beauty, its no wonder this home hasnt changed hands in fifty-plus years!
