Meadowbrook Farm

A working farm since the 1700s, Meadowbrook Farm is completely surrounded by sheltered privacy and serene beauty. It represents a rare offering on 124 farm-assessed acres just outside the historic village of Oldwick in Tewksbury Township. Bucolic views of the distant Hunterdon Hills, rolling land, open fields, a spring-fed pond and leafy forests characterize the verdant acreage. Custom-built by the present owners in 2012, the residence at the heart of Meadowbrook Farm is a replica of the original farmhouse; the architecture presents graceful symmetry which combines classic and modern design using clean lines. Inside, an airy 14-room layout is filled with natural light amid peaceful vistas of the serene property and pool complex. Dependencies include a 10,000± square-foot multi-use barn featuring radiant heat and air conditioning as well as additional storage buildings. The current owners have created a welcoming one-of-a-kind home characterized by captivating gathering spaces and magnificent outlooks of natural beauty with privacy and tranquility. An expansive 9,000 square-foot layout contains five bedrooms, seven full baths and a powder room.

Highlights of the open floor plan include wide plank cypress flooring, three wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, a three-stop elevator, custom Pella windows, radiant heated floors, intricate trim, handsome custom built-ins, cabinetry, moldings and woodwork. Well-designed principal rooms are ideal venues for entertaining and everyday living. A coffered ceiling living room is anchored by a fireplace detailed with the farmhouse’s original antique pine mantle, creating a beautiful focal point flanked by custom built-ins. In the fireside dining room, a dramatic window wall frames outlooks of the sparkling pond and sweeping fields. An impressive library features custom cypress cabinetry and shelving. Another convivial area is the chef’s? kitchen and family room. The unique Z-shaped center island easily supports prep work and casual seating, while design elements such as Netuno Bordeaux granite countertops, custom? white cabinetry and upper-end paneled appliances from Miele, Liebherr and Sub-Zero are sublime details. Upstairs, a sophisticated master retreat is comprised of a spacious, sunlit bedroom clad in pale tones of ivory and white, dual walk-in closets fitted with California Closets wardrobe organizers, a spa-inspired master bath offering sparkling white Cancalla marble accents, a hydrotherapy tub, clear glass steam shower and marble-topped double sink vanity. Three more generously-sized en suite bedrooms connect to private white Cancalla marble baths. The third level has a bedroom, oversized full hallway bath, home office and gym or media room as well as a large storage area that can be finished for additional square-footage. Casual get-togethers are accommodated in the lower level’s sizeable recreation room featuring a built-in media center. This level is completed? by a full bathroom, workshop and storage areas.

Outside, a covered bluestone porch overlooks the swimming pool and offers built-in cypress cabinetry with a grill and refrigerator, plus automatic screens. Colorful gardens and manicured grounds are viewed from the lovely Indiana gray limestone pool terrace. An outdoor shower and full bath/changing room incorporating the same blue hues of the pool in its glass tiles are thoughtful poolside features for warm weather entertaining. The attached four-car garage offers heat, a dog shower and storage attic with potential for finished living space.

Finished in Hardie plank siding, the classic red barn has areas for hay storage, farm machinery, a machine workshop, antique auto and tractor collections, as well as six horse stalls, a tack room and wash stall.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cornell University ( kor-NEL) is a private and statutory Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, the university was intended to teach and make contributions in all fields of knowledge—from the classics to the sciences, and from the theoretical to the applied. These ideals, unconventional for the time, are captured in Cornell's founding principle, a popular 1868 Ezra Cornell quotation: I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.The university is broadly organized into seven undergraduate colleges and seven graduate divisions at its main Ithaca campus, with each college and division defining its own admission standards and academic programs in near autonomy. The university also administers two satellite medical campuses, one in New York City and one in Education City, Qatar, and Cornell Tech, a graduate program that incorporates technology, business, and creative thinking. The program moved from Google's Chelsea Building in New York City to its permanent campus on Roosevelt Island in September 2017.
Cornell is one of three private land grant universities in the United States and the only one in New York. Of its seven undergraduate colleges, three are state-supported statutory or contract colleges through the State University of New York (SUNY) system, including its agricultural and human ecology colleges as well as its industrial labor relations school. Of Cornell's graduate schools, only the veterinary college is state-supported. As a land grant college, Cornell operates a cooperative extension outreach program in every county of New York and receives annual funding from the State of New York for certain educational missions. The Cornell University Ithaca Campus comprises 745 acres, but is much larger when the Cornell Botanic Gardens (more than 4,300 acres) and the numerous university-owned lands in New York City are considered.As of October 2018, 58 Nobel laureates, four Turing Award winners and one Fields Medalist have been affiliated with Cornell University. Since its founding, Cornell has been a co-educational, non-sectarian institution where admission has not been restricted by religion or race. Cornell counts more than 245,000 living alumni, and its former and present faculty and alumni include 34 Marshall Scholars, 30 Rhodes Scholars, 29 Truman Scholars, 7 Gates Scholars, and 14 living billionaires. The student body consists of more than 14,000 undergraduate and 8,000 graduate students from all 50 American states and 116 countries.
