Stone walkways lead to a spacious formal entry. Inside, natural light fills the living room and formal dining room, which opens to a fully screened-in porch balcony— a tranquil perch with panoramic views of the surrounding gardens, stonework, and gently rolling landscape, offering a serene retreat. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, featuring elegant finishes, marble countertops, inset cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances including dual fuel La Canche double oven and range, fully integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and drawers, built-in microwave/convection oven, center island with seating and Australian Ironwood top. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the inviting family room, creating a natural gathering place for everyday living. A convenient half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, the home features four generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom suite with a private bath and plenty of closets throughout. A unique highlight of the property is the expansive unfinished attic above the garage—620 square feet of space that could easily be transformed into a home office, media room, or guest suite. A full basement provides nearly 950 additional square feet, offering flexibility for recreation, a gym, or extra storage. Recent improvements include new siding (2025) and updated 200 Amp electrical (2023). The wraparound driveway, framed by serene gardens and mature trees, offers both convenience and picturesque curb appeal. Ideally located, this home is a short drive from Pennington, Hopewell, Princeton, Lambertville, and New Hope, with easy access to Routes 31, 29, 1, I-95, I-195, and I-295. Commuters will appreciate close proximity to Hamilton and Princeton Junction train stations as well as Trenton-Mercer Airport. Blending the appeal of a traditional Colonial layout with high-end kitchen design, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location, this home offers both luxury and long-term potential. With four bedrooms, two and a half baths, multiple gathering spaces, and abundant expansion possibilities, 12 Poor Farm Road is ready to meet today’s needs while offering room to grow in the future.
