Property Description

Here it is! The perfect home your family has been looking for, complete with a private pool and located in a top-rated school district. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Highlands at Hamilton Township swim/tennis community, this 5 bed / 5.5 bath craftsman residence blends warmth, detail, and everyday functionality with a fully fenced backyard and abundant storage throughout. A welcoming wrap-around front porch sets the tone, leading into a light-filled interior with expansive windows that enhance each space. The inviting foyer opens to a formal dining room designed for both everyday meals and larger gatherings, complete with a convenient butler’s pantry that adds extra storage and serving space. Just off the foyer, a versatile sitting room offers the perfect setting for a home office, reading lounge, or additional entertaining space. Gather fireside in the living room with coffered ceilings and built-ins or relax in the keeping room with exposed beams and a second fireplace. The chef-inspired kitchen boasts an oversized island, double ovens, a 5-burner KitchenAid cooktop, a newer KitchenAid dishwasher, walk-in pantry, and breakfast area. Just off the kitchen, enjoy both a large open deck and a screened porch with ceiling fan, offering multiple options for outdoor dining and relaxation. A bedroom and full bath on the main level provide flexibility for guests, along with a laundry room complete with sink and storage cabinets. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a comfortable sitting area, elegant tray ceiling detail, and two spacious walk-in closets. The en-suite bath is designed for both comfort and function, offering dual vanities with cultured marble countertops, a jetted soaking tub, and a separate shower with a built-in bench. A large bonus room on the upper level adds even more versatility, offering the perfect setting for a media room, playroom, or flexible hangout space to fit your needs. The finished terrace level is designed for entertaining, featuring a spacious den, a built-in bar area that remains, and a dedicated pool table space. A full bathroom adds convenience, while slate flooring, Berber carpet, dimmable lighting, and generous storage enhance the space. A full wall of custom built-in cabinetry provides a seamless solution for housing and concealing a TV and media equipment, adding both function and a clean, polished look. Outdoors, the backyard feels like a private retreat, thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and recreation. A heated saltwater gunite pool and spa invite year-round enjoyment, complemented by a spacious deck area and a fully fenced yard. Built-in Bose speakers run throughout basement and extend outdoors, enhancing the poolside experience for effortless entertaining. A peaceful pond, recently relined, adds a natural backdrop to the setting. An under-deck system extends the usable outdoor space, while three HVAC systems, including a newer primary unit, support year-round comfort inside. As one of the last homes built in the neighborhood, this property stands out for its thoughtful layout, well-maintained updates, and exceptional blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
