About 179 Stony Brook Road
Savor the quiet privacy, abundant space and boundless outdoor enjoyment that only country living can offer here at this 31-acre Hopewell Valley property, where a gracious home with grandly scaled rooms is the crown jewel. Nearby, but completely separate, a 4-bay garage is a dream come true for car enthusiasts, as well as anyone who needs dedicated space for a hobby. In the distance, beyond walled gardens, relaid stone patios and the freshly paved driveway, a barn opens the door to even more new pursuits. To make the country estate experience complete, there’s a designated area reserved for a future pool and cabana. A new cedar shake roof caps the enlarged and carefully maintained house, fitted with many new windows and full of one-of-a-kind spaces to please every member of even the largest household. A cathedral great room with a massive stone fireplace flows into an equally airy casual dining space, inviting everyone to gather together. With a sunny circular breakfast bay, the kitchen is also sized for a crowd. The floor plan includes plenty of areas that easily evolve with an ever-changing lifestyle, including a skylit playroom that can serve as an office and a pub-like library that enthralls all who enter. The elegant living room, along with a sunroom lined with French doors, could be reimagined as a restful and romantic first floor primary suite. To supplement the home’s original comfortably sized bedrooms, a separate multi-room wing privately hosts holiday guests or a very lucky au pair. Set up your gym in the finished basement or claim the adjoining cottage as a space devoted to wellness. There’s no limit to the flexibility or the opportunities for personalization. A caretaker and a housekeeper, familiar with every inch of the home and grounds, are already in place, making the move and any potential renovations much easier. With a rich past and more space than ever imagined, both inside and out, this blissful bucolic property is a rare find and an exceptional value!
