Presiding over magnificent grounds, this beautifully renovated home, with a finished art studio, is one of only two in a 1200-acre conservancy in the Amwell Valley Hunt Club. Formerly a speakeasy for Governor Harry Moore, there is still a 1928 bowling alley stained into the second-floor family room, where they would bowl in the early years! Renovations pay homage to the glamour of yesterday, and there is a real “Hollywood bungalow” vibe here that’s timelessly elegant - every improvement was thoughtfully chosen both inside and out. On the main level, a cavernous living and dining room with a large, eye-catching fireplace opens to a covered patio. The home office is convenient for those quiet moments, while the kitchen, with high-end appliances and extremely rare Crystallo quartzite back-lit surfaces, will be the conversation piece at every dinner party. Two main suites on the first floor include the original principal bedroom with a private bath, and one with a true dressing room/closet and marble bathroom with 24-carat gold-plated deco fixtures. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath open to the large sky-lit family room with built-ins. On the 4+ acres, find a parterre-style garden and a sweet blueberry pavilion, designed out of cedar trees, with an Adirondack gate and an arbor. A fenced paddock, with a 2-stall barn and feed room, services the animals on this country place. The 2-car garage has a storage loft and a new tin roof, while the home and property have a new septic, a full-service generator, a new furnace and AC, and a new well pump. The bright art studio includes a kitchen and bathroom, making it ideal for entertaining. Crisp and fresh, both the house and studio are newly painted throughout. Truly a home that future generations will be proud of! The owner is a licensed real estate agent in New Jersey.
