About This Home

As of April 2025

Custom rebuilt from the ground up in 2017 and reimagined with big-ticket improvements in 2019 by Baxter Construction, this residence epitomizes elegance and modern luxury. Every inch is styled to perfection and planned with precision. Just peek into the heated/cooled garage or open any custom closet for reassurance! Special touches, like illuminated seeded glass cabinetry and artfully detailed quartz countertops, make the Jennair-equipped kitchen a showstopper at the heart of the main level. Just beyond, a lounge-inspired office surprises with its stylish walnut shelving, built-in fridge drawers, ice machine and wine cooler, coffee by day and cocktails by evening. A gas fireplace warms the open family room, but the 9-ft high finished basement is just as attractive for casual evenings. A kitchenette sporting cool geometric tile and a glass-enclosed wine room keep refreshments handy and a full bath with laundry is convenient to the gym and a guest bedroom. A proper laundry room ripe with storage serves four upstairs bedrooms, two of which are private suites with their own sunny decks. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, boasting an expansive terrace, a serene sitting area, and a custom walk-in closet. Its stunning Baxter-renovated bath is a work of art, featuring a luxurious soaking tub, and refined finishes. The additional baths mirror this level of elegance, with marble-topped vanities and spotless tile. Set on a prime corner lot in a charming neighborhood, this property is designed for both relaxation and recreation. The private fenced yard offers ample space, while a picturesque farm to table vegetable garden, potting shed, and a versatile sport rink—ideal for everything from ice hockey to bocce—add to its unique appeal. For evenings under the stars, gather in the serene fire pit area for gathering with friends and family. Ideally situated less than six miles from both downtown Princeton and Pennington Borough, with Hopewell Borough and a selection of top-tier schools even closer, this home is an exceptional offering of luxury, comfort, and unmatched craftsmanship.
