Completely reconstructed from the foundation up in 2017, this house effortlessly combines the timeless charm of a traditional Cranbury home with modern amenities for contemporary living. The inviting front porch is perfect for relaxing and greeting neighbors. Upon entering, you'll appreciate the warmth and seamless flow of wood flooring throughout the home. The foyer, featuring shiplap walls and barn doors, opens to a spacious coat closet and a convenient laundry room with a chute. The generously sized living room, with its gas-burning fireplace with ceramic surround, opens to a beautiful backyard. The well-appointed kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting a large island and leathered granite countertops that add depth and warmth. The six-burner stove features a flip-over grill for wok cooking, and a large exhaust hood vents to the outside. The impressive refrigerator ensures you never run out of space. For those who love pantry space, this kitchen offers a walk-in pantry, a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge, and an appliance pantry to hide away small appliances. The large window over the farmhouse-style sink provides views of the deck and pool in the backyard. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, making entertaining a breeze. The mudroom off the kitchen connects to the deck and garage and features built-in cubbies for coats, backpacks, and more. A half bath completes the first floor. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat with two walk-in closets and an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub, a large stall shower, and a privacy commode. The second bathroom on this floor is designed for sharing while offering privacy, with two sinks in the center and separate areas with a shower and toilet on each side, one of which includes a bathtub. Three generously sized bedrooms complete this floor. The finished third floor provides additional versatile living space. The fully finished basement is perfect for entertaining, with a bar area, a full bath, and direct access to the backyard. It also features an electrical panel ready for generator installation. The backyard is a private oasis with a Trex deck, a fenced yard, an inground pool with a relaxing waterfall feature, and a charming shed for convenient pool equipment storage.
