About This Home
As of June 2023If these walls could talk, what a tale this home could tell! A marvelously-appointed all brick dwelling in Princeton's coveted Western section echoes the glamour of yesteryear. Adorned with inlaid marble and wood floors, a master with both a walk-in clothes closet and another simply for shoes and delicate trims and finishes throughout, this beauty was once home to a star of film and stage. Subtle hints of Hollywood grandeur interplay with elements of whimsy and creature comforts producing a home that is equally suited for entertaining on a grand scale or enjoying quiet time with friends. Both the living and family rooms access patio and garden. The kitchen is entirely retro extending to a breezeway that connects a two-car garage with a separate studio. Here find a roaring fireplace, efficiency kitchen, bathroom and atrium doors to a peaceful walled patio. For an artist, writer or as home office, this lovely space will be well-utilized. Four full bathrooms service the main house with four bedrooms.
