About This Home
With a location on Princeton's famed Prospect Avenue, among grand university buildings and homes of the academic elite, it should come as no surprise that a Princeton graduate-turned-professor designed this brick residence. Martin L. Beck, likely a follower of the same principles guiding Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the house just a year after Fallingwater was built. A front porch, also edged with walls of brick, is a sunny spot to watch the many passers-by. The foyer has a clean-lined metal railing along the stairs, which echoes metal casement windows throughout. The formal rooms to either side include the wood paneled living room with a fireplace lined in herringbone brick. The family room opens to a garden area with a side patio and greenhouse. Lots of extra outdoor space extends out behind the attached garage. Beyond the kitchen and laundry room are 2 bedrooms, a full bath and a work studio. Upstairs, 3 more bedrooms and 2 bathrooms include those of the master suite, which also offers a dressing area and tray ceiling. A linen room opens to what could become a huge sundeck. Although the whole house requires updating, its forward-thinking floor plan is very functional and its location can't be beat. Central air conditioning could be installed because forced hot air vents are in place.
