Tucked away on 2.78 acres of lush, landscaped grounds, 178 Lower Oak Grove Road offers an exceptional blend of refined living and natural tranquility. From the moment you arrive at the gated entry, this custom residence invites you to slow down and savor the beauty of its storybook setting—complete with a koi pond with water feature, raised bed garden, and tree-lined yard. The wraparound porch sets a welcoming tone, providing the perfect vantage point to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer introduces the home’s light-filled and thoughtfully designed interiors. Just off the entry, a handsome study with custom built-ins and French doors opens to the porch, creating a seamless transition between work and relaxation. At the heart of the home, the stunning kitchen combines elegance and functionality. A large center island with seating is illuminated by pendant lighting, offering a natural gathering place for family and guests. Glass-front, lighted cabinetry and open shelving create a designer feel, while providing both display and storage space. The adjoining breakfast area is framed by French doors that open to the rear deck—perfect for enjoying a sunny morning or al fresco dining with views of the surrounding landscape. This inviting space flows effortlessly into the two-story family room, where a dramatic marble-surround wood-burning fireplace anchors the room in warmth and style. A first floor full bath is just next to a bonus room that could be used as a bedroom, guest suite or additional office space. French doors lead to a three-season room with vaulted ceiling and skylights creates a tranquil retreat for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide serene accommodations, while a versatile loft-style flex space offers endless potential for a second office, studio, or guest area. Storage is abundant throughout, and thoughtful upgrades — including brand new hardwood flooring, a whole-house generator, newer AC system, and a two-car garage with basement access — add comfort and peace of mind. Though you’ll feel a world away, this idyllic escape is just ten minutes from the charming shops, dining, and cultural attractions of both Frenchtown and Flemington. For those seeking elegance, privacy, and a connection to the outdoors, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home.
