About This Home
As of February 2021Set in the midst of Princeton's historic Mercer Hill, loved as much for its rich history and picture postcard charm as it is for its stroll-to-town location, this exquisite period home has been transformed by a stylish, windows-to-foundation renovation. Preserved 1870's details provide a beautiful backdrop for modern, searched-for highlights that include a spectacular gourmet kitchen, finished basement, and smart home features. Hardwood floors and an open flow connect a fireside living room to a holiday-sized dining room and beyond, a snug library. Designed with a chic European sensibility and every possible amenity, the chef's kitchen is an absolute showstopper with fittings from London, Italian geometric tile, and professional grade appliances that include a Wolf 6 burner with an indoor grill, a 848" Sub Zero fridge, and a 144 bottle wine fridge/humidor. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms and 2 suites feature lit, Elfa-organized closets; 3 full baths have been renovated beautifully. Unique to a period home like this are the "extra spaces": a top floor bonus room/den, a finished basement with ample storage, and a backyard oasis with a pair of bluestone patios, a year-round studio/office, and 3-car parking that includes a garage. Too many smart features to mention include Nest thermostats and gigabit wired network and internet. Along with new plumbing, electric, and foundation: this is effectively a new house!
