About This Home
As of June 2015An elegant brick Georgian with private walled garden stands with distinguished presence at perhaps the most recognizable crossroad in Princeton's Western Section. Step into the receiving hall, where a finely detailed spindle staircase ascends toward a leaded glass Palladian window with countless delicate panes catching the light. Double parlors feature two of seven fireplaces topped by hand-carved mantels. Beyond French doors, an ethereal sunroom adjoins the dining room, where a hand-painted chinoiserie mural fosters a sense of intimacy and plenty of conversation. Cherry cabinetry and wainscoting surround the vast kitchen and adjoining butlers pantry. Lavish draperies, wallcoverings and carpeting continue to the second floor served by an elevator. Four bedrooms, including his and hers masters, feature patterned wood floors, fireplaces and private baths. A second sunroom and a versatile office complete this level. Four charming top floor bedrooms now functioning as office/conference room/study
