About This Home
As of February 2015Anyone entering Princeton from the west can't help but ponder the origins of this storybook stone cottage behind a prolific hedge of roses. The Joseph Olden House dates back to 1760 and has been twice enlarged and enhanced by internationally celebrated architects. In order to serve Guernsey Hall as the estate's caretaker's cottage, John Notman added the dining room and kitchen, now completely high-end with polished granite surrounding Miele, Fisher Paykel, and SubZero appliances. The skylit breakfast room, foyer, and grand living room are later additions by William Short. A full bath tiled in marble basketweave serves the first floor, which includes a bedroom/study with deep windows overlooking columned covered porch and yard. Beneath slate-capped gothic gables, 2 more bedrooms and a dressing room share a second elegant bath. The deep lot includes a maze of brick ruins, once greenhouses, now an inspiring backdrop for the avid gardener with potential for further living space. Seller is licensed NJ real estate agent.
