Description

Welcome to the Captain Lambert Homestead (Circa 1780's and 1810), a picturesque retreat nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac and enveloped by preserved land on three sides. Newer additions and renovations in 2002 and 2023 have further enhanced this special home. The captivating property, with its long private driveway approach, exudes charm from the moment you arrive. The inviting covered front porch, adorned with elegant mahogany floors, sets the tone for the warmth and character that awaits inside. It is difficult to describe the sheer enjoyment of entertaining on the porch in all seasons, while watching sports and fun activities on the sweeping lawn and taking in views of breathtaking sunsets from a very special perch! This exceptional residence offers a blend of classic charm and modern sophistication across a flexible floor plan with 5 bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, and a wealth of versatile spaces. The earlier section of the home features handsome old pine board flooring, original millwork, built-ins, and multiple decorative fireplaces, showcasing the beauty of yesteryear. The newer addition (2002) and significant renovation (2023) provide living space up and down, and a stunning kitchen with Italian Carrara marble countertops, a huge island with deep drawer storage, ship lap and barn wood detailing, and elegant DeVol brass lighting fixtures with push-button switches. The kitchen is complemented by a breakfast/TV room, with sliding doors to an inviting deck, a convenient mudroom entrance with handy storage, a large coat closet, and an adjacent laundry and powder room. Top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances include a Bertazzoni range with 6 induction burners, Bosch refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a wine refrigerator. Numerous pantries, deep drawer storage, and even a child-friendly area have been well thought out. The center island with barn beam support has ample room for seating and invites everyone into the kitchen- a fabulous space to welcome all! And through the kitchen is access to the former attached 2-car garage- now converted into a home gym with specialty vinyl "wood" flooring, a split system HVAC, and oversized white board- a great home gym but offering a perfect space for a home office or potential additional living quarters. The second-floor houses generous bedrooms, many featuring handsome pine board floors. A spacious game/playroom with built-in shelving provides endless possibilities for any type of gathering, while a large, secluded room could serve as in-law quarters, a music room, or an art studio. The two hallway tile baths on this level, one with a tub, offer convenience and comfort. The third floor is dedicated to a luxurious main bedroom or guest suite, finished with cherry flooring, complete with a private office or potential dressing closet and a full bath featuring a footed tub and shower with frameless shower doors. A large picture window with window seat showcases views of the expansive property. Step outside to discover a sprawling lawn that ensures privacy and tranquility. The rear deck and front porch are ideal for entertaining, and there's ample space for a pool. The charming red barn with open beams and a floored second level, along with a detached 2-car garage, provide additional storage and functionality. Situated in prestigious Upper Makefield Township, this property offers access to the desirable Valley View neighborhood while maintaining a serene, bucolic lifestyle. And if you enjoy farming, this property is ideal for gardens or crops. Its excellent location provides easy access to Princeton, I-95, Philadelphia, airports, and shore points. With low taxes, zoned HVAC, great care, attention to detail, and unparalleled charm, this exceptional property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the homestead of your dreams. Don't miss your chance to make this extraordinary property your forever home.
