For those who value privacy, prioritize sustainability and favor a modern aesthetic, this innovative home completed in 2021 checks every box and then some. Nestled into a 3-plus-acre setting at the end of a private cul-de-sac, the striking design employs ThermaSteel panel construction, the new gold standard for strength, durability and efficiency. Inside, every creature comfort and numerous smart-home features are seamlessly integrated into streamlined spaces flooded with sunlight. Even the garage has translucent glass doors and California Closet storage. At the touch of a button, custom shades dim the living room and a linear gas fireplace provides instant ambiance. Pass beneath a 20-foot high ceiling on the way to the kitchen, where Gaggenau and Bosch appliances join a waterfall-edge quartz island and a modern trough sink. A second sink and dishwasher in the pantry are ideal for clean-up after entertaining in the dining room, where a beverage center is concealed within a flat-panel built-in. Huge sliders open to a composite deck edged in metal and glass for perfectly clear views of tall trees and mossy boulders. This natural serenity is also on full display up in the corner main suite, thanks to multiple oversized windows. A slatted wood wall beautifully contrasts with blond oak floors, a consistent element throughout the home, including in the main bath featuring spa-worthy egg-shaped fixtures and a multi-jet shower panel behind frosted glass. Closet space is newly customized with smoked glass to keep treasured items within view, yet protected. An office or wellness room completes this incredible owners’ retreat. The laundry stands between two nicely separated bedroom wings, the second of which offers a corner suite and two bedrooms with a shared bath, all opening from a window-lit corridor. Additionally, a first floor suite next to a side entry is ideal for in-laws or an au pair. There’s so much more to encounter at this spectacular modern sanctuary, including a wildly bright, walk-out lower level bonus room, and it’s all mere minutes from downtown Princeton.
