About This Home
As of December 2021Over a handful of years, this storied, in-town residence was completely overhauled - from the top-floor guest getaway to the backyard fitness studio and every inch in between. The talented professionals of Bogle Design Group and Leddy Interiors combined forces to create spaces full of warm polished style and sophisticated modern livability without sacrificing any of the Mercer Hill home’s innate historic character. With some features, such as rich walnut floors, it’s hard to tell the original from the new. The most dramatic change was the reconfiguration and opening of the kitchen to the family room, as well as a dining and mudroom expansion. Applewood cabinetry by Superior Woodcraft and soapstone counters envelope chef-worthy features, like on-demand sparkling water and an 8-burner Miele range. Smart storage solutions include a charging station and hidden beverage drawers. Since the private stone terrace designed around old-growth specimen trees is clearly an entertainer’s paradise, complete with a fireplace and koi pond, it makes perfect sense that a wine fridge is within arm’s reach of the back door. When the party’s over, unwind to the bells of the Cleveland Tower carillon, played live every Sunday. Five bedrooms include 3 suites on the second floor with customizable Elfa closet systems and distinctly renovated bathrooms. An office and a top floor lounge are flexible spots to study, play or work. Already equipped with a high-speed charger, the 3-car garage is a valuable rarity in this historic neighborhood. At just about a half mile to Nassau Street, Princeton University, McCarter Theater and more, this is an extraordinary Princeton opportunity.
