Property Description

Escape to the Sourlands: Cedar & Stone Home with Woodland Views! Nestled in the scenic Sourlands and just minutes from the charm of Hopewell Borough, this cedar-and-stone home is a true private retreat surrounded by thousands of acres of preserved woodland and trails. Set on just over 3 acres, it offers the perfect blend of serenity and convenience, located between Flemington, Lambertville, and Princeton, and within the award-winning Hopewell Valley Regional School District. Rich natural materials and post-and-beam construction create warmth and character throughout, starting with a striking foyer featuring a full-wall stone fireplace with chiseled beam mantel and pellet stove insert. The original entry, believed to have once been a small hunting cabin, adds a touch of history and charm around which the home was thoughtfully expanded. All the wood floors within the home were just recently refinished. Just off the foyer, a spacious office or library with vaulted ceilings, French doors, built-in shelving, and woodland views offers a peaceful place to work or unwind. The kitchen, with oak cabinetry, skylights, Spanish tile backsplash, and a brand-new stainless range (March 2026), flows seamlessly into the cedar-planked dining area. A stone half-wall connects the spaces while keeping the open, airy feel. The dining room, with a cozy wood stove and sitting nook, opens to a living room with soaring exposed beams, built-ins, bay window, and a second stone fireplace with pellet stove insert. Sliding glass doors from both spaces lead to a tiered deck overlooking gardens and natural surroundings—perfect for summer gatherings or quiet mornings with a cup of coffee. The main level also offers a flexible bedroom suite with adjoining sitting room—currently housing a removable tornado shelter—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a private workspace. A full bath with slate-tiled walk-in shower and a laundry/mudroom with new washer (March 2026) and rear yard access complete this level. Upstairs, two bright, spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans offer comfort and plenty of storage—including walk-in closets. One bedroom opens to a private balcony overlooking the backyard. The upper-level bath features dual granite vanities, walk-in shower, tile and river stone flooring, and a dedicated sauna. Additional features include central air, an auto-metered oil tank, and a newer septic system (2018). A utility room with workbench, plus a chicken coop and large tool shed, add versatility and charm. Municipal inspections are complete, and reports are available for review. With possession available immediately, you can start enjoying this remarkable home —and start planning your Memorial Day barbecue! A very special property offering character, comfort, and the perfect setting for everyday life and entertaining. It’s truly one of a kind!
