140 Heather Ln Princeton, NJ 08540

Modernist architect Otto Kolb, celebrated throughout Europe and the US, designed this one-of-a-kind home nestled into a sun-dappled 2.39-acre lot on a sleepy street at Princeton’s edge. The low-slung, single-story structure feels completely enveloped by its enchanting, woodsy surrounds, yet the interior is bathed in sunlight pouring through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. Rooms wrap around two courtyards, further promoting complete immersion into the restorative sights and sounds of nature. Exposed brick walls add rustic texture and interest, along with wood trim, slabs of stone and even sheets of weathered metal. A nicely separated guest suite and/or office was a forward-thinking attribute that perfectly serves the ever-shifting lifestyles of current times. Radiant heat beneath brick, concrete and tile floors is another smart, modern feature that supplements the ambient warmth of a floating fireplace and free-standing wood-stove. Sleek, simple and white, the kitchen is the nexus of the house, linking the entertaining areas and the private bedroom wing with a shared family room. The main suite has a closet-lined dressing area, an updated bathroom and more dramatically scaled sliding glass doors. A separate storage studio and shed accommodate any overflow. An opportunity to live in an architectural work of art doesn’t come by often and it won’t last!
