About this home
In the heart of Princeton and set on a rare half-acre lot, this beautifully upgraded residence blends timeless architectural character with over $300,000 in thoughtful, high-end enhancements. Classic elegance meets modern comfort throughout a floor plan designed for seamless living and effortless entertaining.
A serene front garden with mature plantings and a tranquil fish pond welcomes you to the covered entry. Inside, a dramatic two story foyer showcases a contemporary mobile -style chandelier and wide sightlines that reveal the home’s gracious first floor. Nine foot ceilings extend throughout the main level, enhancing the sense of openness and natural light.
To the right, the living room centers around a welcoming fireplace; to the left, an oversized dining room provides easy access to the show-stopping kitchen. Fully renovated in 2018, the kitchen reflects an architect’s vision—featuring a massive center island with built-in wine cooler and microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 8-burner Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, double wall ovens, abundant windows, a walk-in pantry, and sliding doors opening to an expanded bluestone patio (2019). It is truly a chef’s dream and an entertainer’s delight.
A sunken family room offers a cozy retreat with a second fireplace and custom built-ins. The first floor also includes a private fifth bedroom with a full bath—ideal for guests or multigenerational living—along with a powder room and a well designed mudroom equipped with benches, cubbies, hooks, and shelving.
Upstairs, the bedroom level offers exceptional flexibility. The self-contained primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a sitting/meditation room, a completely renovated spa bath (2018) with stand-alone tub and seamless glass shower, vaulted ceilings, dual vanities, “his and hers” walk-in closets with custom shelving, and a step down wrap around bonus room perfect for an office or private lounge. A renovated Jack and Jill bath (2018), a charming Princess/Prince suite, a guest suite with a full bath, and a beautifully updated laundry room with sink and folding table (2018) complete the upper level.
The high-ceiling finished basement expands the home’s versatility with a media room, recreation space, abundant storage, and even more potential for customization.
Outdoors, the private fenced backyard is a serene oasis with professionally designed landscaping, raised garden beds, a large bluestone patio, and an array of flowering trees, shrubs, and perennials. An oversized two-car garage provides additional space for storage or a workshop.
With over 4,600 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 baths, this exceptional home delivers space, beauty, and functionality in equal measure. Located within walking distance to Princeton schools, downtown, and University, it offers the perfect combination of location, lifestyle, and luxury....
