7 CAROLINE DR Princeton, NJ 08540

Offering elegance and comfort in equal parts, this stunning center-hall Colonial in sought-after Hopewell Hunt won’t be on the market for long.

From the two-story entryway, enjoy a panoramic view of the downstairs - a proper dining room on the left and a formal living room on the right. There is a dramatic t-shaped staircase at the center with a landing overlooking the two-story family room featuring twin skylights and fireplace.

Adjacent to the family room, a spacious kitchen is fitted with all the bells and whistles, including a Sub-Zero built-in fridge with French drawers and freezer drawer, a five-burner gas stove, under-counter beverage cooler and microwave, and twin convection ovens. Cherry cabinets, granite counters and updated floor and backsplash complete the look.

The sunroom at the back of the home with room for a large dining table, looks onto the spacious raised deck and manicured backyard with stone firepit. Completing the first level are a home office, powder room and laundry area.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, including a Jack and Jill suite with new shared bathroom featuring rolling glass doors, twin vanities and marble countertops, a princess suite, and a master suite with sitting area, splendid custom closet with an array of storage options, a tray ceiling to draw the eye upward, and a master bath with jetting soaking tub, twin vanities and shower.

A large finished basement offers plenty of space to recreational pursuits, with ample storage tucked away behind doors, and a door leading out to the yard, which is equipped with a Cedar shed.

The custom deck connects to a covered porch with enough space for separate dining and lounging areas; a ceiling fan with woven rattan blades provides a decidedly Southern air, while drapes are at the ready to help block the sun. All the outdoor spaces enjoy a view of the open green space beyond.

Accented throughout with high-end touches like multi-layered woodwork, elegant lighting, French doors, arched walls and front-and-back staircases - this home is as elegant as it is comfortable. The attached three-car garage leads into the mud/laundry room.

Situated near Mount Rose Preserve and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, you will enjoy ease of access to Princeton, Hopewell and Pennington downtowns, and popular commuter routes to NYC and Philadelphia.
