~Elegant~ and ~inviting~ best describe this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home near the heart of downtown Pennington. Gorgeously appointed inside, and expertly landscaped outside, it~s is the perfect setting for seamless indoor-outdoor relaxation and entertaining.A pair of rounded brick steps lead to the double front door, which opens into a spacious foyer with a near-panoramic view of the downstairs, and a landing above. To the right, a den/library with built-in shelves and cabinetry welcomes cozy contemplation, and offers a glimpse of the screened-in porch and backyard. The focal point of the living is the gas fireplace, flanked by French doors leading to the screened porch, and pergola-shaded deck, hot tub and in-ground pool.The dining room, currently in use as a billiards room, offers a second point of egress to the deck, and floor-to-ceiling built-in storage for dishes, glasses and silverware.Just beyond the dining room is the eat-in kitchen designed for serious cooking with a Viking stove, a Sub Zero refrigerator paneled to match the cabinetry, and granite countertops in shades of salmon, black, cream and brown. Glass-fronted cabinets, pantry storage and an island complete the space. A powder room with pedestal sink is nearby.Part of the basement is fitted out as a media room with speakers built into a black-painted wall that frames the flat-screen TV. Ample closet space and concealed utility storage complete this level.On the home~s second floor, Jack-and-Jill bedrooms share a bath, a princess suite has its own shower, and a fourth room is available for use as a yoga studio, sitting room, play room or home office.

A laundry room is conveniently located nearby.Throughout, 9-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and meticulous wood trim add an air of understated elegance.
