163 Matthews Farm Rd, Belle Mead, NJ 08502

With Montgomery Park stretching out just beyond the fenced backyard, this Kings Crossing home enjoys a little extra breathing room in a neighborhood already rich with outdoor amenities. Miles of sidewalks make everything accessible including the community pool and tennis courts right around the corner. It’s an appealing setting for this four-bedroom home that has just as much going for it inside. A two-story foyer with an eye-catching Palladian window is flanked by good-sized formal rooms. Between the dining room and kitchen, a glass-front wall of built-ins is an unexpected and especially pretty detail, bringing display and storage into the mix. The breakfast room opens through sliders to the deck, while the adjoining family room gets a lift from skylights and a fireplace. A separate home office keeps work out of the main living spaces, and the laundry room connects directly to the two-car garage. Upstairs, there’s no short straw among the four bedrooms. Each is nicely sized, while the primary has his-and-hers walk-in closets, a separate linen closet, and generously proportioned private bathroom. A hall bathroom and another linen closet serve the remaining bedrooms. Downstairs, the finished basement brings space for recreation, a dedicated gym, and plenty of storage. The backyard is completely fenced with the greenery and sports fields of Montgomery Park just beyond. All public utilities, a roof approximately eight years old, and HVAC about 11 years old round out a home that delivers space where it counts and a setting that’s hard to duplicate.
