Set far back from the road at the end of a charming lane, this home pairs historic character with thoughtful updates amid an idyllic setting. A direct path leads to the D&R Canal towpath, with Mapleton Preserve across the street. Downtown Kingston restaurants are minutes away with Princeton within easy reach. Inside, wide-plank wood floors span both levels, complemented by exposed beamed ceilings and custom built-ins that preserve the home's authentic charm. Just off the entry, a home office with built-in bookcases sits across from the formal dining room. The renovated kitchen features white cabinetry, granite counters, pantry storage and updated appliances including a new Bosch induction range and outside-venting hood. The kitchen flows into an expansive, light-filled great room with ample space for both comfortable seating and casual dining. Built-in cabinetry and an integrated desk provide functional workspace. A deck-access mudroom, dedicated laundry room and powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a partially beamed ceiling, walk-in dressing area with custom cabinetry, and a spa-like bath with a freestanding soaking tub, Carrara marble-topped double vanity and spacious tiled shower. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bathroom. Outside, the fully fenced yard is complemented by flowering gardens, a rear deck, generous driveway parking and a detached two-car garage. With preserved land nearby and easy access to the canal, along with Kingston and Princeton proximity plus highly regarded South Brunswick schools, this is a home that feels connected to both nature and everything the area has to offer.
