About This Home

As of January 2014

Taking pride of place along one of Princeton's enviable Western Section streets and built during the Victorian era, this house imparts the pleasing symmetry and simplicity of the Federal Revival style. Cherry branches drape a front brick walk edged with mature boxwood, while in the rear azalea and rhododendron color a private terraced lawn. 9+' ceilings, oak floors, lustrous mahogany doors and 6 fireplaces reflect the quality craftsmanship of the time. A wide center hall brightened by leaded glass windows opens to a library with built-ins, a living room with bay windows and door leading to the rear garden, and a dining room with beamed ceiling. A butler's pantry with original sink makes a unique bar when entertaining. The eat-in kitchen opens to a cozy family room lined with built-ins for media. Large windows usher light into 3 second story bedrooms, each with ensuite bath. The 2-room master suite includes a study/dressing room. Follow the back stairs to 2 more bedrooms, a full bath, and ample storage.
