About This Home
As of July 2019The only thing more desirable than a spacious, elegant Princeton home is one with an architecturally designed expansion incorporating a beautiful in-law suite. Ideal for private accommodations for multiple generations, guests or staff, this thoughtful addition perfectly complements the already extensive living spaces. Attractive formal living areas include a living room, dining room and den. The kitchen and family rooms are united with counter seating, creating a casual spot to congregate with friends. A wall of glass lends to the feeling of openness and extends the party to the expansive terrace. The master bedroom provides a quiet getaway and features a beamed ceiling, balcony, spa bathroom and dressing closet. An ingenious use of dormers illuminates the upper hall with natural light. Four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms radiate from here. Completing this perfect picture are a home office, finished basement, wine cellar and 4 fireplaces. Set amid flourishing grounds, an inviting in-ground pool is discreetly placed on the 2-acre lot in one of Princeton's most desirable and convenient locations.
