About This Home
As of May 2022From the moment you drive into The Preserve, a homeowner’s association of 21 homes on three private roads, you know you have arrived in a special place in the woods of the beautiful Princeton Ridge. Located on 1.4 wooded acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this custom-built Lew Barber colonial home is truly exceptional. It is luxury and practicality throughout, with exceptional finishes as inlaid flooring and woodwork and seemingly limitless closets and storage. It is luxury meant to be enjoyed, a beautiful but relaxed atmosphere from the moment you enter. The entry foyer is dramatic and double-height, sweeping staircase with wainscoted walls, and pristine hardwood flooring. Off the foyer is the formal living room, and what a beautiful room to entertain in, with lots of natural light in daytime and classic fireplace to enjoy at night. Through glass pocket doors is the large windowed dining room, the perfect space for entertaining and large gatherings. The kitchen and breakfast area are a chef’s delight with high-end Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, GE Profile wall ovens, Whirlpool cooktop with Viking extractor fan, granite counters, pantry, and so much more. The large island with ample seating is a great spot to hang out, as is the adjoining large windowed breakfast area with built-in seating and storage underneath. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee or tea at the bay window looking out on the beautiful rear woods and beyond. Take a step down and you enter the family room, with its soaring ceiling and wall of glass, a second fireplace and wall of French doors leading to a stone terrace. A second staircase off the family room at the side entrance leads to the upper level of the home where one will find the primary bedroom suite plus three other large bedrooms. The suite’s tray ceiling adds drama to the space and there is a private sitting room and two large walk-in closets and a large ensuite bathroom, with deep jetted tub, separate shower and two vanities. Bedroom 2 has its own private bath; Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The second-floor laundry, conveniently accessed by all, completes this level. Yet there is more living space on the lower level. A recreation room with double French doors opening to a bluestone terrace, a large bedroom with full bath, an exercise room, loads of closet space, and two separate storage rooms complete this walk-out level. A 3-car garage, outdoor storage room under the raised terrace, plus a massive pull-down attic that could easily become a 4th floor if one were so inclined. Just minutes from downtown and all Princeton has to offer!
