86 Knickerbocker is gorgeous inside and out! Some say the kitchen is the heart of the home. One look at this lovely renovated kitchen and you will be planning your next gathering! Designed to be both attractive and functional, there is plenty of space for the cook to work while your guests enjoy appetizers and conversation with you around the large island. Soapstone countertops are smooth and velvety and bring historic character. A natural gas stove with an electric oven works with you to help perfect your high-heat creations. Dine casually in the kitchen or more formally in the adjacent dining room. If summer brings out the grill master in you, just walk out the sliding doors from the kitchen to the grill on a beautiful deck. There is plenty of room to dine outside in the sun, or under the shaded pergola. The deck is also the perfect place for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning listening to the bird songs, or relaxing at the end of the day. You will be delighted by the variety of birds and butterflies that made their homes in the extensive butterfly/wildlife garden with a small fountain nearby. Charm abounds everywhere in this home with a huge, bright living room and a separate family room featuring a wood burning fireplace nestled between attractive built-in cabinets and bookshelves. This room is the perfect place to curl up with a book on a snowy evening or rainy day. Convenience was a primary design consideration with the main floor laundry and door to the two car attached garage from the boot room/laundry room. The front porch is a great place to unwind and watch the sunset! Upstairs features four generously sized bedrooms with a beautifully remodeled en suite bath in the master bedroom and a second renovated hall bath. There are plenty of closets throughout the house with additional storage in the attics and the partially finished basement. The basement has a fantastic music/media room with a cute Harry Potter-style (under the steps) homework/office nook. The solar panels add value to your bank account since they provide most of the power used. The almost new Hardie Plank siding over new vapor barrier signals a true high-quality exterior and is not only also beautiful and low maintenance, but it means a quieter and more energy efficient interior. Utilities include a newer, natural gas heater and water heater. Welcome to beautiful Belle Mead! This home is in the highly acclaimed Montgomery Township School district. This is an exceptional opportunity with so much to love about the home and the location. Visit while you can! Showings start Thursday July 23.
