About This Home
As of June 2022A real rock star setting! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Pretty Brook section of Princeton where boulders and trees adorn the landscape for moments of sculptural beauty. Plenty of room for a growing family here since guests, in-laws and au-pairs, can live privately among work-from-home, school-from-home and zoom room situations. The expanded property consists of a main house with an attached two car garage and a separate entrance apartment above, and a free-standing two-story studio with an attached third car (oversize) garage. The main house has generous size rooms with elegant living and dining areas on either side of the center entrance hall. A charming two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, handsome cross beams and a wall of sliding glass doors that open to an immense deck overlooking the pool, pool house and open grounds. A den or 4th bedroom with a full bath is just off the kitchen which is updated with a large center island and a breakfast bar, light gray perimeter cabinets offer high end appliances and quartzite counters, the tile floor has radiant heat and a large walk-in pantry is located in the mudroom with custom cabinets and a second laundry area. A side door opens to a front porch that leads to the apartment above the garage and an interior door accesses the two-car attached garage. The upper level offers a primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet; a Jack-n-Jill suite has a bathroom with dual sinks and an open loft offers views of the family room below. Outside and up the steps to the garage apartment you will find a cathedral ceiling room with an open bedroom/living area, a renovated full bath, a kitchenette and plenty of storage. Across the way is a free-standing two-story studio with office space and a half bath on the first floor and a cathedral ceiling room with an open bedroom/living area on the second floor. A pool house is located just beyond the pool and has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, and a half bath with a separate changing room. The basement of the main house is daylight and walkout with a 5th bedroom option, recreational room and a fourth full bathroom with a steam shower. Outdoor living is orchestrated here by gardens, lawn games, climbing boulders, walking/biking trails and a firepit to end those long summer days beneath the stars!
