20 W SHORE DR Pennington, NJ 08534

Custom built 19 years ago, this grandly scaled home in Hopewell Township?s prestigious Elm Ridge Park neighborhood is impeccably designed and maintained, and serves as the centerpiece of $100,000 worth of magazine-worthy land- and hardscaping by Hidden Valley Nursery. A winding stone walkway leads to the front entry, which opens into a two-story foyer. The formal living room with double French doors is to the right; to the left is an elegant dining room with butler?s pantry pass-through to the kitchen. The kitchen, spacious enough for a roomy table and chairs, is finished with natural cherry cabinets, and soffits and Sub-Zero refrigerator paneled to match, plus a center island and four-burner gas stove. French sliders lead to the deck, which overlooks a symmetrically landscaped back yard featuring a stone patio with rounded edge, flowering trees, and lovely plantings. Conveniently near the kitchen are access to the oversized, attached, three-car garage; large closets; and a laundry room with cabinets, table for folding, and utility sink. The kitchen opens to the two-story family room, where the focal point is the wood-burning fireplace with brick surround stretching to the ceiling, and clerestory windows on three walls. Nearby, an elegant home office could double as guest, in-law or au pair quarters, with a full bath nearby. A turned staircase leads up to a landing which overlooks the entryway and family room. Two bedrooms share a hall bath with twin sinks and tub/shower combo, and a third bedroom has a private bath with shower. The elaborately scaled master suite has two sitting rooms, which could serve as dressing rooms; four closets, including a large walk-in; a spa-like bath with large jetted soaking tub nestled beneath a skylight (imagine viewing the stars with a glass of wine within reach), twin sinks, a separate shower, and a private toilet. The sleeping area features a tray ceiling and fan. Throughout the home, enjoy such high-touch accents as gleaming hardwood floors, half-round-topped windows, meticulously angled crown moldings, plaster medallions accenting the chandeliers, and high ceilings. Plus, enjoy more-than-ample storage with easy access to the attic, and a full unfinished basement accessible from inside the home, as well as the garage. Location wise, the home offers very easy access to major commuter roadways, is part of Hopewell Township schools, is close to the areas private schools and is 10 minutes from downtown Princeton.
