1000 Cherry Hill Road , Princeton, NJ 08540(Mercer County)

Beautiful iron gates and a tree-lined circular driveway lead you to a custom-built home so majestic you may think youve arrived at a luxury hotel. The grand foyer with its 2-story double door and sweeping staircase, both embellished with more intricate scrolled ironwork, only further the impression. However, a comfortable, gracious warmth accompanies the opulent detailing, making this 5-bedroom showplace on over 5.5 lush acres a haven from lifes hustle and bustle. Throughout the formal spaces, ranging in size from banquet-ready to intimate, hand-painted finishes by an Italian artist and layers of detailed moulding add depth and intrigue. More casual, but just as jaw-dropping, is the Great room, where a massive chandelier hangs 21 feet high. No need to cut any names from the party guest list with a room like this! A library, study, balcony and full bath are a collection of private spaces that can also accommodate anyone who stays the night. The open family room, breakfast area and chef-approved kitchen round out the main level and share views of the terrace, as well as a circular aquarium for a moment of zen whenever needed. Atop the back stairs are 3 bedrooms with 2 privately accessible baths. The main suite is as spacious and sumptuous as expected with a turret sitting room, a travertine bath with all the bells and whistles, including radiant heat, and an exercise studio, also with entry from the 3-bay garage. A full basement has space to spare for any further amenities that might be on your wishlist. The peaceful property, surrounded by rolling country roads, has a Princeton address.
