283 W Upper Ferry Rd, Ewing, NJ 08628

This contemporary home, built in 1979 and sited on almost 6 acres (a rarity in Ewing!) is perfect for the nature enthusiast. The driveway, lined with mature pine trees and flowering shrubs, hints at what's in store. Step through the front door, and feel yourself immediately drawn to the wooded backyard. Sliders across the back of the house (three in the great room and one in the den) frame a splendid wooded backyard. Spend hours exploring the woods behind your home, working in the garden, or simply relaxing and listening to birdsong on the maintenance-free Trex deck, which spans the length of the house. Inside, skylights flood the home with natural light. The updated kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, quarter-sawn oak cabinets and a Shaw's apron sink. The great room, with its hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace and soaring ceiling, offers combined dining and living space. Pottery Barn colors on the walls (pine, mustard and terra cotta) add warmth and personality. Enter the first-floor master bedroom suite through barn-track doors, and marvel at the details within: a closet carousel to make finding the perfect outfit a snap, a vaulted ceiling, and a tiled bathroom with rainfall shower head, built-in shower bench and wall-mounted, ultra-modern toilet. The living space is completed with a den outside the master bedroom, and two bedrooms and a shared full bath upstairs. A mudroom equipped with washer and dryer offers the perfect point of entry after a day exploring outdoors. The full basement offers ample space for storage, or the option to finish it for additional living space. The home is wheelchair accessible, with a wheelchair lift in the garage. Located a short drive from Princeton and Trenton, major highways and public transportation, and about midway between Philadelphia and New York City, this home has it all: it's close to shopping, dining, excellent health care and major corporations, yet it provides the perfect setting to unplug and connect with nature.
