10 E ACRES DRIVE, PENNINGTON, NJ 08534

On a peaceful cul-de-sac a few minutes’ drive from Pennington downtown sits a classic Maine Colonial designed by famed Princeton architect William Magill Thompson. While maintaining the hallmarks of Thompson’s timeless aesthetic – tall windows, gorgeous wood floors, and classic wood trims and moldings – the home has also been tastefully updated.The lower level’s floor plan is ideal for entertaining, allowing people to flow freely from one room to the next, and out to the bi-level deck overlooking an impeccably maintained yard.A home office near the front of the home is equipped with built-in bookcases along one wall; nearby are a concealed wet bar and a half-bath with pedestal sink. The spacious living room beckons with a wood-burning fireplace, plus built-in shelves and storage on one wall. French doors lead to the deck.The family room hosts the home’s second fireplace, another set of doors leading outside, built-in storage, and recessed lights. The kitchen, updated in a sleek and minimalist style and equipped with white quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, including a four-burner gas stove with down draft exhaust, opens to the family room at the back and the dining room at the front.At the back of the home, a mud/laundry room provides easy access from the family room, side entrance, and attached two-car garage.The sleeping quarters are upstairs. Ensuite bedrooms are at the front and back, while the three in the middle share a hall bath. Many of the closets, both standard and walk-in, feature custom shelving. (The suite at the back, tucked beneath the eaves, could be repurposed for play, au pair, exercise or work.)The yard is fully fenced to keep pets in and garden-chomping critters out. At the back, a white picket fence encloses a shed and perennial flower garden filled with black-eyed Susan, coneflower, phlox, day lilies and Shasta daisies. The perimeter of the yard, meanwhile, is planted with thoughtfully curated mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs.Situated near Pennington’s quaint downtown and within easy driving distance of Princeton and Hopewell, and major commuter routes and train stations, this home’s location couldn’t be more perfect. Factor in the recent big-ticket improvements – new roof and septic – and it’s evident that it won’t remain long on the market.  2018 Generac generator, (2 zone) HVAC and hot water heater, 2022 Septic
