596 Millstone River Road Belle Mead, NJ 08502

Set high above the Millstone River on just shy of three acres and cradled in its own pocket of paradise, this cherished home is one of those rare finds you can only hope to stumble upon, brimming with character, warmed by love, and absolutely unforgettable! A long driveway gently winds its way up to reveal this sprawling, private home. A thoughtfully designed addition that reversed the home’s orientation is the quietly luxurious welcome. Lighted stone stanchions and a broad bluestone walk lead to this glassy vestibule crowned by transom windows, where the light streams in just so. Step further inside to find rooms are equally sun-drenched and graceful, with timeless details that feel as though they’ve been curated over a lifetime. The kitchen blends nostalgia and modernity with black-and-white checkered floors, a new stovetop, ovens, a dishwasher, and a classic Sub-Zero refrigerator. A casual dining nook makes the most of the view, offering a picture-perfect moment with every meal. The oversized dining room is playful and poised, featuring a whimsically painted faux fireplace and tasteful dentil crown molding. The living room is all elegance, with a gas fireplace, a walk-in bay, built-in shelving, and access to a covered front porch that steps down to a sweeping patio. On the main level, the primary bedroom is a retreat all its own, with sliding doors to the outdoors, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a whirlpool tub. A second full bath is near a home office and a guest bedroom. Tucked into its own corner, the cathedral family room with a wall of built-ins offers yet another place to unwind. Upstairs, twin bedrooms feature custom alcove beds, built-in drawers, and abundant storage, sharing the third full bath. Every view and every inch of this charmer will remind you just how good a home can feel!
