About This Home

As of January 2020

On a Princeton Western Section street prized for its close proximity to town, this mid-century modern has been completely transformed by its talented interior designer/owner to create a sleek and thoughtful home. Bamboo floors, creative millwork, and frosted glass doors mix light and texture to bring unity and personality to open spaces. A long center island grounds the open kitchen and dining room, agleam with top stainless appliances, gleaming Corian, and white lacquer cabinets that wrap into a mudroom area. Floating shelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized sliders to dining and breakfast patios, which extend the living space into the pretty, fenced backyard. An office, master suite, and 2 bedrooms that share a modern hall bath with twin vessel sinks. The cleverly designed lower level opens into a tiled entrance hall from a carport and oversized 1-car garage. Radiant heat feels delightful in the family room and a full hall bath with chic metallic tile. Fourth bedroom and office have great versatility, along with much coveted storage.
