Jeffrey Clarke.The estate is located just minutes from downtown Princeton and the University. It consists of main residence, magnificent stone embankment barn, caretakers' cottage, & numerous farm outbuildings dating from the 18th-20th century. All buildings have been recently repaired, restored or re-built. Tusculum retains its historic farm context but serves as a residence for luxurious modern living. Its main house & barn readily accommodate entertaining on a large scale. The elegant wine cellar holds 2,000 bottles & is entered through the special tasting room.
