This project involved new construction of a 7,450 sqft custom home on a beautiful country lot in East Amwell, NJ. The homeowners’ vision for their dream home was an energy-efficient modern farmhouse designed to take full advantage of the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Some features of this lovely home include custom windows and doors, Savant Smart Home and Lutron lighting integration systems, automated solar shades, and solar-powered smart integrated skylights. The home is also Energy Star Certified, a designation that requires high-efficiency heating and cooling, complete thermal enclosure, water protection systems, and efficient lighting and appliances.

A two-story great room with a Limestone wood-burning fireplace and engineered windows on three sides provides stunning views of the Sourland Mountain Preserve. The great room leads into the open concept dining area and kitchen, which features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom tile and cabinetry, and an oversized island with waterfall edge countertops.

Both the dining area and great room open onto a spacious Bluestone patio at the back of the house, which includes a screened porch with automated retractable screens and a masonry wood-burning fireplace.
