Property Description
Introducing an exquisite blend of luxury and elegance at 131 Brookstone Drive-a home where thoughtful renovation and expansion meets exceptional design. Meticulously crafted under the guidance of architect Andrew Sheldon, this remarkable residence enjoys an additional 2,000 square feet of living space, including an 800-square-foot addition to the kitchen. Step through the custom-built mahogany front door into a home where every detail has been masterfully curated. The foyer, with its barrel ceiling adorned with an airbrushed mural by a Russian-trained artist, welcomes you with a sky motif and recessed lighting, creating an ethereal ambiance. The living room is adorned with a tray ceiling with recessed lighting and green 'jade' airbrushed columns, adding a touch of sophistication. Opening to the dining room, these rooms provide an expansive area for entertaining a crowd as easily as an intimate gathering. The family room, centered around a cozy gas fireplace, invites relaxation, while the study features a wall-to-wall custom-built maple bookcase, offering an ideal space for work from home days. The kitchen is a chef's paradise, featuring an abundance of Quaker Maid solid maple wood cabinets with under-cabinet lighting and a large center island, complete with a prep sink and seating, creating the perfect gathering spot while cooking and entertaining. A large bow window overlooks the backyard, offering breathtaking views of the majestic treeline with its seasonally changing vistas. Equipped with a 48" Thermador Professional cooktop with a wok burner, exterior vent range hood, dual Miele dishwashers, a Subzero refrigerator, a JennAir double oven, and two large Blanco sinks, this kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional. The adjacent breakfast area is a sunny spot for mealtime under the glow of a skylight, with double sliding glass doors providing views of the tennis court and pool. These doors also offer access to the deck, making al fresco dining a summertime staple. The primary bedroom suite on the main level is a sanctuary, complete with two walk-in closets, a luxurious bathroom featuring dual Grohe shower heads, jet spray heads for a massage experience, a Thermasol PRO Series III steam shower generator, a Jacuzzi, and a separate bidet and toilet area, all under a skylight. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with separate sink areas. A curving staircase, illuminated by a skylight and designed to mimic the shape of a grand piano, leads to the lower level, where a bedroom and full bath provide multi-generational living options or a gracious guest or au pair suite. This level also features a two-sump pump system, and an additional sump pump in the crawl space, ensuring peace of mind.The backyard is a true oasis, offering endless possibilities for entertaining. Host sophisticated evening cocktail parties, weekend barbecues, or après-tennis gatherings around the heated saltwater pool with a waterfall, or on the lighted professional-grade tennis court designed by Sheldon Westervelt, who has also designed courts for the US Open, the White House and Monica Seles. The tiered paver patio, deck, raised bed garden, and pergola provide the perfect settings for outdoor enjoyment. The expanse of surrounding trees ensures privacy, enveloping the yard in greenery. Additional amenities include whole-house central vac, a Tesla Level 2 Home Charging Station in the garage, a Generac 20k gas backup generator, and a whole-house water filtration system with UV and carbon filters. Recent updates include the replacement of all four skylights in 2022. Wonderfully located just minutes from downtown Princeton and the University, wonderful private schools and highly rated public schools, this home offers the ideal backdrop for an extraordinary lifestyle
