Key Facts
Description
There is a serenity to this home that is difficult to define but impossible to miss. Natural light pours through three skylights in the vaulted ceilings, gathering spaces flow together in an open plan, and the backyard drifts gently toward the Millstone River, creating a setting that is both inspiring and deeply peaceful. This home is filled with thoughtful details you just won't find in other homes. Rather than facing the front door, the staircase turns inward, drawing the eye naturally upward. Along a second-floor gallery, built-in bookcases create a quiet sense of purpose, while a balcony offers an elevated perch for birdwatching and nature sightings. The primary suite is set apart from the other bedrooms here and features a walk-in cedar closet and private bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a powder room are all on the main level. Living and dining areas look upon a fireplace surrounded by shelving. The kitchen is spacious, modern, and designed for the everyday, with dual wall ovens, a gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, and laundry discreetly tucked within a closet. Just beyond, a heated porch extends the living space year-round, opening to the deck and the landscape beyond. Although set high and dry above the river, the property finds its natural conclusion at the river's edge, making it conducive to kayaks and canoes
