While attending the National Association of Realtors Conference in San Francisco I attend a Sustainable Homes Tour hosted by Build It Green, featuring Greenpoint Rated Homes.
I was able to tour a GreenPoint Rated Home and learn directly from the builder and the architect about the process and requirements of achieving a LEED Rating.
The inspiring setting on a Belle Mead cul-de-sac adjacent scenic farmland-preserved acreage is reason enough to look twice at this home. The reasonable price for all that it offers is yet another. And although it needs a bit of a facelift, with minimal TLC you could move in and make improvements as time goes on. With four bedrooms, all with wood floors, including a master suite with private bathroom and a first-floor office/den ideal for a TV room or at home office near the kitchen and laundry room with backdoor. Wood floors throughout the house add to the attractiveness of the traditional floor plan. Bay windows were added to both the living room and the dining room, each delineated from the entrance foyer by French doors. A gas fireplace and intimate deck bring out the best of every season in the family room. The kitchen is just the right size for comfortable cooking and is adjoined by a breakfast nook and the laundry room. Enjoy nature on the serene property dotted with birch and cherry trees with 2 sunny decks and a patio. Princeton is nearby and of course all of Montgomery’s conveniences including its top-rated school system only a few minutes away. This might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to join the Montgomery community!

SAVE-the-Date, Public Open House, July 21st, 2019, Noon -5:00 pm.
In Princeton’s Brookstone enclave, this east-facing, brick-wrapped Colonial has been brought completely up-to-date with fresh, youthful renovations that handle modern life with ease and style. Custom millwork of the highest quality fills the home, showcased by a graceful, hand-crafted bannister, which gives architectural presence to the 2-story front hall, and cherry paneled library with ceiling-high bookcases and a sunburst fireplace mantel. Four sets of French doors open to tiered bluestone terraces and gardens of lilies, irises, and monarch-attracting milkweed, framing the back of the home. A fully-fenced, garden-party backyard dazzles with views of a stacked stone wall, towering trees, and a bird’s eye view of babbling Stony Brook. Crown molding, recessed lights, and hardwood floors fill the 1st floor, including the living room, warm with a marble-framed gas fireplace, and formal dining room with a bay casement windows. Cherry cabinets, top-line stainless appliances, and granite counters gleam in the recently renovated kitchen. The mudroom/laundry room centers on the ultimate gas dryer/steamer – never send your sweaters out again! Front and back stairs rise to the 2nd floor, where you’ll be greeted by the carpeted family room, whose utility changes as needs change: playroom, hangout, movie night haven. A half bath is nearby – the home’s third! Three of the 4 bedrooms are suites with renovated baths and good closets. The master suite is so special with a closet-lined dressing room and a built-in marble dressing table, plus a beautiful bath that features a multi-jet shower with a rain fixture. A finished 3rd floor hosts a walk-in cedar closet and a 5th bedroom currently used as a study. Providing peace of mind are a replaced electric panel and furnace, plus a generator. This leafy location is pretty much perfect: an easy 2 mile drive to downtown Princeton, and within strolling distance to Johnson Park School and Greenway Meadows Park!
I am please to inform you that I successfully marketed 586 Snowden Lane, procuring multiple offers for my clients on the first day of the listing. My expertise of preparing their home for sale resulted in additional equity for them of $52,100 over the original list price. This was my 5th real estate transaction serving these loyal clients over a 30 year period.
Taking its inspiration from mid-century modern design, this Littlebrook Area Princeton residence designed by architect Andrew M. Sheldon brings the outdoors in, allowing rooms to sing with treed views, custom stone, wood details, passive solar and airy flexibility. Tall ceilings, slate floors, and casement windows frame open living and dining rooms, scaled for entertaining and organized with smart storage for favorite books and table decor. Rejuvenate on a stone patio amid nearly 2 acres of leafy landscape, or in a creative art studio/workshop with its own entrance to the outside plus doors opening to the additional storage space in the adjacent garage with an electric car charging outlet. Sleek glass tile, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances trim the kitchen, whose just-right size centers on a prep/dining island; a neighboring office can be privatized with pocket doors. The sunroom’s wall of brick with a Swedish fireplace and beamed ceilings enfold with warmth as the room transitions to an in-law suite and a vast great room, or imagine the possibilities of a media room or vast office space. Open stairs lead to 5 bedrooms – room for all – with a laundry with built-ins and 3 baths at the ready, including the master’s en suite, crowned with a sauna. Perfectly sited near the recreational and hiking parks of Herrontown Woods and Smoyer Park – just a quick drive to Princeton Shopping Center and downtown Princeton.
