About this home
A rare architectural statement in the heart of Belle Mead! This exceptional NORTH EAST stone-front Center Hall Colonial blends timeless elegance with dramatic timber-frame design on a private cul-de-sac setting surrounded by preserved farmland and wooded views. Defined by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, and a striking fireplace centerpiece, the home is filled with extraordinary natural light and an unmistakable sense of scale. Designed for both grand entertaining and everyday comfort, the expansive floor plan offers oversized, airy living spaces throughout, including a private first-floor den or office, an inviting loft retreat, and a flexible layout ideal for extended living or guest accommodations. The sunken living room with wet bar creates a sophisticated gathering space, while the beautifully appointed eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a center island with additional seating. Brand-new carpeting throughout enhance the home's move-in-ready appeal while preserving its unique architectural character and warmth. The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living continues onto an expansive Trex deck overlooking serene woods, and Montgomery Township's preserved open landscape. A walkout basement with direct outdoor and garage access complete with plumbing rough-in for a future bath offers exceptional flexibility and future potential. Additional highlights include radiant heating, rear-facing solar panels for enhanced energy efficiency, expansive front and rear yards, and an unparalleled setting that combines privacy, architectural presence, and lifestyle appeal in one truly one-of-a-kind residence.
