A landmark farm in a rural portion of Belle Mead, Montgomery Township has been gloriously transformed into a pleasing estate on 4 acres. In addition to the immaculately kept barn buildings, there are handsomely landscaped lawns, gardens, patios and pool. But it is the house itself that is the major attraction. With origins dating to 1817, the structure has been only enhanced over time. Elegant proportions from the earliest period set the tone that was respected by later Victorian era additions and embellishments. It was the creative eye and demanding standards of the current owners, however, that established the style and substance found today. In the past twenty years, a thorough renovation has taken place while three additions were made to the house. To the back of the existing house the perfect joining of old and new construction has provided for the grandly sized gourmet kitchen, large casual dining area, first floor laundry room and a pantry -- in other words – all of the conveniences not typically found in an old house. The front part of the house contains spacious formal rooms with period detailing, large windows, handsome floors, and multiple fireplaces. A front hall contains an elegantly curving staircase to the second floor where the clever joining of old and new is even more remarkable. With a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms, a library and stunning garden/family room this house is a well groomed blend of luxury, history and comfort. The property borders both preserved land and a quiet neighborhood.
