About This Home

As of June 2025

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in prestigious Princeton, this beautifully updated and expanded Colonial offers modern comfort, exceptional outdoor living, and a great neighborhood setting. A thoughtfully designed front stoop leads to elegant French doors, where sunlight pours in, illuminating gleaming hardwood floors on both levels. Customized polished marble with subtle veining adds a touch of luxury as you step through the foyer into the formal dining room, spacious living area, or upstairs. A striking two-sided fireplace connects the expansive living room to a bright, airy study/library, which boasts a built-in sound system, elegant glass-fronted bookshelves, and a custom cabinetry. The inviting family room, highlighted by its own fireplace framed in exquisite marble stone, opens onto a sprawling mahogany deck. Adjacent, the recently upgraded gourmet eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring sleek quartz countertops, top brand stainless steel appliances, and custom soft-close cabinetry. A convenient full bath and a fully equipped laundry room complete the main level. Enjoy stunning, ever-changing views from every window throughout the year.
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite featuring a spacious walk-in closet, a spa-inspired en-suite bath, and a breathtaking private sunlit terrace. The finished basement offers incredible flexibility, with dedicated spaces for a media room, play area, private office, and craft room—all connected by a full bath. Outside, enjoy the tranquil privacy of the expansive mahogany deck and an underground pool, surrounded by lush greenery—perfect for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. Wander along the scenic forested path or simply take in the peaceful views of the sprawling lawn, which seamlessly transitions into picturesque wooded surroundings.
Perfectly positioned—sitting north while facing south—this home is bathed in natural light throughout the day. Move-in ready with timeless elegance and modern conveniences—this is Princeton living at its finest!
