Located in the western section of Princeton, Brookstone is a development of custom homes set on 2+ acre lots with public water and sewer. This stately colonial with a portico porch opens to a center hall foyer with a large formal dining room with an elegant marble fireplace on the right and a similar sized formal living room to the left with two bay windows and a set of glass French doors that open into a handsome study with a window-seat and custom built bookcases. The back of the house boasts various additions through the years that now includes an open concept kitchen with a center island that seats six, desk space, warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator and more. The removal of a wall opens the kitchen into the sky lit family room on one side and a charming sitting area and breakfast room redesign at the opposite end, makes for an expansive feel in this kitchen with fabulous backyard views. Two sets of French doors from the family room and breakfast room lead to the patio, pool and gardens. The addition of a second (informal) powder room easily services the pool and the smartly designed mudroom and laundry room acts as a grand-central station to meet and greet everyone with coat hooks, closets, cubicles and a cork-board message center. The installation of a second staircase leads to a 5th or 6th bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace and its own full bath~(this space could also be a perfect upstairs great room)~ three to four bedrooms share two hall baths and the master bedroom has an updated master bathroom and walk-in closet. Hardwood floors are found on both levels and tile in all the bathrooms and mudroom below. The lower level is finished into one big open space and the unfinished area makes for great storage. The grounds are meticulously cared for where a heated gunite pool takes center stage and is enhanced by a fully fenced rear yard with raised beds, patio, lawns, trees and a hammock for lazy summer days! Flowering trees and shrubs make for a private and peaceful oasis where coming home will be your own slice of heaven!
