About This Home
As of August 2015Thoroughly renovated to appear as it did when President Grover Cleveland was in residence, and thoughtfully expanded for today's practical living space, the national landmark and restoration award-winning "Westland" offers three levels of state of the art living, with period detail, six fireplaces and many original features intact. A grand marble entry leads to the formal living and dining rooms, both trimmed with moldings, medallions and mantels from Cleveland's time. The cigar room, now a library, and family room, sunroom, mudroom, powder room and kitchen (honed granite-topped island with seating, SubZero refrigerator, 6-burner Viking with griddle and grill, and tray ceiling with crown molding and pendant lighting) complete the first floor.The two levels above provide 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms with meticulous attention to detail, including one of the two master walk-in closets, complete with a crystal chandelier for outdoor symmetry when the home is lit for entertaining. Bonus rooms offer space for office, exercise and reflection, while a manicured lawn, blue stone terrace, formal gardens, built-in pool and 3-car garage complete the outdoors. All of this, the spectacular restored residence and the remarkable setting, rests amazingly about 1/4 mile from Palmer Square with Princeton University Campus and the train just beyond. In Westland, the opportunity of a lifetime awaits...come see.
