241 GOAT HILL RD Lambertville, NJ 08530

At the end of the stone drive is a sunny clearing in the woods, a secluded 14+ acre setting that, according to local legend, was ideal for making a little moonshine back in the 20's. The barn and the still are gone, but the stone foundation remains as a reminder of a checkered past. The cozy frame farmhouse with two stone fireplaces and pine plank floors has been lovingly cared for and expanded over the years. A 1993 addition doubled the size of the original and added a new kitchen. A party-sized center island with bar sink and granite countertop overlooks a rear gallery of windows with garden doors that open to a large bluestone patio. The new office/sunroom has a glass door to the patio as well and shares the view of rolling lawn bordered by woodlands. The new main bedroom suite includes a study with a rear windows, luxury bath, two walk-in closets and a private enclosed porch with a view of the labyrinth and visiting wildlife. The early portion of the house is highlighted by an enclosed porch with a flagstone floor, bookcases and built-in cabinetry with a wet bar. A second staircase leads to two additional bedrooms, a full bath and an attic that proved useful when the Federal Agents raided the still. In recent years Zaveta Construction has made a number of refinements including an attractive mud room entry. Later improvements also include an auxiliary generator and a large accessory building/garage with a workshop. Located at the edge of Lambertville, "Chez Ami" is a quiet retreat easily accessible to town and major roads. More recent history includes lots of parties and good times!
