About This Home
As of June 2021There's no other house in Princeton quite like this head-turning, whitewashed brick residence located mere blocks from the heart of town in the prestigious Western Section and just 1.7 miles to the Princeton Train Station. The defining architectural feature is a circular turret that holds a dramatic staircase connecting 3 light-filled levels, each designed to accommodate a separate aspect of a busy household's modern lifestyle. The multi-room ground floor is ideal for in-laws, guests, working from home , casual evenings or possibly as an accessory dwelling unit as a result of the recent amendment to Princeton's zoning ordinance. The main level's large kitchen with polished black granite and huge walk-in pantry makes entertaining in the wide-open living and dining rooms easy. Follow a light-filled hallway to 3 bedrooms and a new bath. Another spacious and airy bedroom studded with skylights and lined with French doors serves as the main suite complete with a new bathroom featuring a multi-jet shower, soaking tub and adjacent walk-in closet. The sun-drenched top floor can be a home office, rec room or studio. The backyard is completely walled so that you may sit under the pergola and enjoy the bubbling koi pond in privacy.
