578 Route 614, Union Twp., Hunterdon 08802-1343

Tucked down a long private driveway on 7.65 acres in Union Township, this colonial sits where Hunterdon County gives you space to actually breathe. Oversized windows pull natural light through the interior, hardwood floors run through most of the main level, and the two-story foyer sets a tone that feels open and grounded at the same time. Rooms flow into one another without losing their purpose, which is harder to find than it sounds. The kitchen is where everyone ends up, with generous counter space, solid cabinet storage, and a door that opens straight out to the deck overlooking the property. The separate living and dining rooms with tray ceilings handle whatever the season calls for, whether that is a gathering or a quieter night in. The family room earns its keep with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a rear staircase that keeps traffic moving naturally through the home. A main floor bedroom with a full bath nearby covers a home office or guests without any awkward workarounds. Upstairs, four well sized bedrooms each have their own bathroom access. The primary suite is tucked away from the rest, with custom walk-in closets, a sitting room, and an enormously sized bath. The home also runs efficiently. A hybrid HVAC system and solar energy credits completely offset the electric bills, which is the kind of detail that matters more every year. Close to 78 and all of Clinton’s amenities, but once you are down that driveway, it feels like a world of its own.
