LEBANON TOWNSHIP –  Professionally landscaped and maintained with meticulous care, this custom Colonial on five acres in Lebanon Township is just a short drive from the river village of Califon. This impressive home offers five bedrooms and three full baths within an open floor plan of 3,371 square feet. The covered front porch takes in views of the lush landscaping, while the covered rear porch overlooks a resort-style heated saltwater pool surrounded by a stamped-concrete patio. An attached, oversized two-car garage and full, unfinished basement provide ample storage options.

Highlights of the flowing layout include hardwood floors, custom-painted rooms, a gas fireplace, recessed lights, large windows which fill the home with natural light, an updated gourmet kitchen and a luxurious master bedroom suite connecting to an opulent master bath. Other conveniences are generator hook-ups and a huge second-story bonus room accessed by its own staircase.

Set at the end of a long drive, the home’s landscaped paver front walkway leads to a covered front porch, creating a welcoming entrance. Inside, the foyer opens into some of the principal gathering spaces, such as the living room with hardwood floors and a sunny bow window. The elegant dining room features hardwood floors and a craftsman-style chandelier. A very large family room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a granite hearth and surround.

Of special note is the recently renovated kitchen, designed with granite counters, maple cabinetry, upgraded stainless-steel appliances, tile flooring and recessed lights. The kitchen’s adjacent dining area has sliding glass doors to the covered porch, open patio and sparkling pool, ideal for entertaining.

Upstairs, a very large master bedroom presents cathedral ceilings, a Palladian window, walk-in closet and luxurious master bath with an updated frameless-glass-door shower stall. Spacious secondary bedrooms, another full bath and an extra-large bonus room complete this level.

The full, unfinished basement can be accessed from inside the home or from the attached garage. Mechanical systems include forced-hot-air oil heat with a humidifier on the furnace, central air conditioning, generator hook-ups, a Surround Sound stereo system, private septic, well water and underground utilities.

Park-like and private, the open, level acreage is surrounded by a wooded perimeter. It offers a serene location at the end of a private cul de sac shared by just two other homes. Originally built in 2001 and extensively updated in 2017, this Colonial displays pride of ownership throughout.

Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County offers a small-town lifestyle near countless amenities such as Woodglen Elementary School, shops and services on Route 31 and charming Lebanon Borough, home to the Lebanon General Store, Holjes-Sheppard Memorial Park and the Fox and Hound Tavern in the circa 1820 Lebanon Hotel.  Lebanon is also close to Spruce Run, Voorhees State Park and Round Valley Reservation, known as some of the state’s most desirable parkland for hiking, boating, fishing and swimming. Nearby is Interstate 78 as well as Routes 22, 57 and 31, making for easy travel to and from the area. The Lebanon train station provides service on NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley line.
