316 Cherry Valley Road , Princeton, NJ 08540(Mercer County)

Embraced by over ten picturesque and private wooded acres, this exquisite custom home is beautifully rendered in the sophisticated style and light-hearted spirit of a manor house in Provence, with wonderful entertaining spaces unified by gentle archways and grand stone terrace with romantic woodland views. Front-to-back light bathes a barrel-vaulted foyer and cathedral living room, its ceiling framed in scrolled trusses. A vaulted family room, comfortably elegant with built-ins and French doors, adjoins the expansive kitchen, which will delight any chef with yards of cream cabinetry, a butler's pantry, and a gracefully curved breakfast area. A 1st floor master suite, done in a palette of warm neutrals, boasts 3 walk-in closets and his and hers baths, cleverly connected by a double-sided shower. Privacy is ensured: one wing houses 3 upstairs bedrooms and 2 baths including a suite, while a vaulted in-law suite with a hidden kitchenette is quietly ensconced in the other. Of course the finished basement has wine storage.
