40 UPDIKES MILL RD Belle Mead, NJ 08502

Deftly blending the classic charm of a traditional colonial with an open floor plan and high ceilings, 40 Updikes Mill Road presents a modern edge juxtaposed with a graceful style. The two-story, sun-dappled foyer leads to the formal living room and dining room on one side, and an office behind double doors on the other. The formal entertaining spaces are graced by hardwood floors, crown and chair rail molding, and French doors leading to a cathedral-ceilinged conservatory lined with Palladian windows and French doors to the deck. The kitchen is both eye-catching and efficient, offering abundant storage via custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a beautiful tile backsplash, a center island with pendant lighting and a breakfast area illuminated by windows, a skylight and a full lite glass door that leads to the deck, accommodating impromptu al fresco dining poolside with ease. The kitchen opens to the family room, which is at once dramatic and cozy, with a vaulted ceiling with skylights anchored by a traditional, brick-surround fireplace. Upstairs, an expansive master suite features a spa-inspired master bath with a jetted tub and a frameless glass shower. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath with double vessel sinks, granite counters and a tile backsplash. A finished, walkout basement leads to the paver patio, and up a few steps, to the pool, surrounded by a fenced-in deck that lends itself well to outdoor entertaining. A side-entry three-car garage, paver walkway and manicured landscaping all enhance the home s curb appeal within the coveted Montgomery Ridge enclave. Belle Mead offers residents a fabulous lifestyle with nearby shopping, recreation, highly acclaimed Montgomery Township School District, proximity to Princeton University and much, much more.
