About this home
Beautifully renovated Princeton home featuring a detached two-level studio, two-car garage, luxury bathrooms, modern appliances, and a private wooded setting backing to approximately five acres of protected green space. Welcome to 420 Mount Lucas Road, a unique property offering the perfect combination of modern living, exceptional flexibility, and an outstanding Princeton location. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, Princeton University, downtown Princeton, and major commuter routes, this exceptional home provides both privacy and accessibility. The main residence offers generous living space featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 beautifully renovated bathrooms, hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and an open-concept floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a stunning contemporary kitchen showcasing custom cabinetry, modern appliances, designer lighting, and an oversized island that serves as the centerpiece for gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat and features a beautifully renovated bathroom with a full-size washer and dryer conveniently located within the suite, combining sophisticated design with practical everyday living. Luxury finishes, contemporary fixtures, premium bidet toilets, glass-enclosed showers, designer vanities, and thoughtful details throughout the home create a truly move-in-ready living experience. One of the property’s most distinctive features is the detached two-level studio. Filled with natural light, finished with beautiful hardwood flooring, and equipped with its own air conditioning system, this versatile space offers endless possibilities as a home office, fitness room, media room, creative workspace, hobby room, guest space, or private retreat. The upper loft level provides additional flexible living, recreational, or storage space. The separation from the main residence creates a level of privacy and functionality rarely found in residential properties. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A spacious paver patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing while enjoying peaceful views of the surrounding woodland. The property backs directly to approximately five acres of protected green space, creating a private natural backdrop rarely found so close to the center of Princeton. Mature landscaping, specimen trees, and year-round natural beauty provide a sense of tranquility and seclusion while remaining conveniently connected to everyday amenities. The home’s thoughtful design combines comfortable everyday living with exceptional flexibility. Whether working remotely, hosting guests, pursuing creative interests, or simply seeking additional space separate from the main residence, the detached studio offers opportunities that are increasingly difficult to find. The combination of modern updates, flexible living spaces, and a natural setting creates a lifestyle that is both practical and unique. Additional features include a two-car garage, unfinished basement offering substantial storage and future expansion potential, updated systems, custom built-ins, generous parking, designer finishes, premium bathroom fixtures, bidet toilets, and numerous improvements throughout. The property offers a rare combination of privacy, flexible living space, modern renovations, and convenient access to Princeton’s shops, restaurants, cultural attractions, recreational facilities, and everyday amenities. Properties offering a detached studio, wooded views, extensive renovations, flexible living space, and such a convenient Princeton location rarely become available. A rare opportunity to enjoy modern comfort, flexible living spaces, and a private natural setting in Princeton....
