About This Home
Imagine strolling home to your own park-like property after dinner in Palmer Square and a show at McCarter Theater. With the campus of Princeton University merely a half-mile from this 1.57-acre in-town refuge, a whole world of cultural opportunities is yours to enjoy on a whim. Then at the end of a busy day, unwind in a renovated pool surrounded by countless hydrangeas that bloom outside the light-filled and meticulously modernized home affectionately known as "Westland". This special spot is exactly where President Grover Cleveland chose to make the most of his precious leisure time, relaxing on the covered porches, reading by the fire, and sharing meals with friends in the big dining room. Nearly every room within the house is spacious and sun-filled thanks to ceilings rising well over 12-feet and an abundance of oversized windows. After an award-winning restoration overseen by architect Max Hayden, a clean white palette lets plaster-detailed ceilings, wainscoting and carved mantels subtly shine, while the modern sensibilities of the current owners prove that fresh, fun and functional can successfully go hand-in-hand with historic beauty. There are also cozy spots to steal away, like the library alcove and the sunroom lined with gracefully arched windows. While the kitchen feels timeless with brilliant white cabinetry topped with marble, a custom steel hood over an enormous Viking range shows it can stand up to the demands of a serious chef. Nearby, a cubby-lined mud entry is practical for any household. The second level is enchanting in its own right with five bedrooms boasting features like built-ins and fireplaces. The primary suite also offers walk-in closets, one fit for a queen with a stunning chandelier. Work, play, exercise and host extra guests on the airy top floor, complete with its own bathroom and some of the prettiest windows in the whole house. A 3-car garage borders a parking court that’s as gracious as it is practical. A storied property like this, just a quarter mile from the heart of downtown, capable of housing countless friends and hosting spectacular parties, comes along only once in a lifetime!
