About this home
Set on over two park-like acres in the heart of Princeton, this exceptional five-bedroom, five-bathroom estate blends architectural sophistication with resort-style living. A sweeping circular driveway welcomes you to the residence, offering both grandeur and privacy amid thoughtfully curated landscaping and mature trees.
Inside, the home showcases interior architectural design by Forma Design, Inc. of Washington, DC, reflecting a refined modern aesthetic paired with warm natural materials. Vermont white oak wide-plank, quarter-sawn wood flooring runs throughout, complemented by radiant heated floors that provide comfort underfoot year-round.
A major renovation in 2017 transformed the home, including the installation of a new basement support beam to accommodate a custom oversized staircase, replacement of flooring throughout, new insulation on all first-floor walls, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades. The entire rear façade was reimagined with custom floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliders, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the lush backyard.
The custom Wood-Mode kitchen is a true showpiece, appointed with two Wolf ovens—including a combination convection steam oven—a Wolf gas stove, a custom stainless-steel hood, and distinctive Swarovski crystal hardware. The dining room features a dramatic gas fireplace wall, creating a striking focal point and an elegant ambiance for gatherings both large and intimate.
The first floor also offers a spacious family room with dramatic wall-to-ceiling windows overlooking the backyard, filling the space with natural light and providing picturesque views of the landscaped grounds. The living room adds warmth and charm with its own fireplace, creating an inviting setting for relaxation or entertaining. The sunroom, fully renovated with soaring ceilings, heated tile floors, and walls of glass, further enhances the seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
All five bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on the second floor, offering privacy and a cohesive layout, complemented by a total of three bathrooms on that level. The expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring several walk-in closets, a large sitting room, and a dedicated office area. Bathrooms on the first and second floors feature elegant Porcelanosa finishes, with the primary bath and second upstairs bath newly renovated in 2024, delivering spa-like comfort and contemporary design.
The finished basement expands the home’s lifestyle appeal with a spacious family room, dedicated gym area, custom bar, and a full bathroom—ideal for recreation, entertaining, or guest accommodations.
Outdoors, the property has been meticulously transformed. In 2013, 85 trees were removed to open the backyard and install a new lawn and sprinkler system. Since then, over 30 specimen trees—including Japanese cedars, cryptomeria, dogwoods, and maples—have been thoughtfully planted, creating a private botanical retreat. A large bluestone patio surrounds the in-ground pool.
This is a rare opportunity to own a masterfully renovated estate in Princeton—where architectural excellence, modern comfort, and serene outdoor living come together in perfect harmony....
