About This Home

As of July 2021

One of the largest in Ettl Farm, this brick from Colonial home offers something for everyone! The light-filled foyer welcomes you into the home and is flanked by a formal living room and dining room. Steps from the living room there is a conservatory, which is surrounded by windows bringing all the glory of natural light, making it a beautiful space for an artist, whatever the medium. There is a first-floor in-law suite, and office with built-in cabinets. The family room with vaulted ceilings and wood-burning fireplace is adjacent to the gourmet kitchen and overlooks the deck, in-ground pool and fenced-in private backyard. The kitchen, with granite countertops, double oven and Sub Zero refrigerator, has a large breakfast nook that could easily be opened up to the adjacent family room. The laundry/mud room is off the kitchen, and there is a three car garage. Venture upstairs to the master bedroom suite, which includes a gas-burning fireplace, four walk-in closets and a large sitting area that could be used as a dressing room. The spa-like en suite master bathroom is the perfect retreat to start or end your day. Just down the hall there is a bedroom, also en suite, offering office space with French doors overlooking the front of the home. Two more bedrooms share a Jack & Jill style bathroom, and the fifth bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. The walk-out finished basement with workout area, full bath, wine cellar and plenty of storage is just one more fabulous thing this home has to offer! Crown molding, recessed lighting and custom closets throughout. Close to walking paths and tennis courts and just minutes from school and downtown Princeton, this home truly is a unique opportunity to make Princeton your hometown.
