About This Home

As of August 2021

Wow, think Malibu! A custom West Cost Contemporary off the shores of Lake Carnegie is spectacular! Where every season is beautiful, check out this cozy retreat with wonderful spaces and room to grow! This extensively renovated and tastefully finished custom home is located in one of Princeton's most beloved neighborhoods of special and significant homes and fabulous home sites. No expense was spared in its extensive renovation ? another Princeton Design Guild success. New bathrooms are fitted with custom cabinetry, upgraded stone tile surrounds and shower ceilings and radiant-heated floors. Stairways boast custom-built cherry railings and banisters, and slate stair treads accent staircases; floor-to-ceiling natural stone surrounds the fireplace, which is fitted with a new gas insert; and a wine cellar in the basement awaits your impressive collection. Walls of windows, French doors and ample skylights (including one in the master bedroom's walk-in closet) fill the home with natural light; in the evenings, custom down lighting and Mission-style pendants imbue the home with romance and warmth, careful, it's loaded! Ideally situated within walking distance of Princeton downtown and the University campus, easy access to major commuter lines and the new hospital, this home is the rainbows end! Totally on the "Most Wanted List!", Be-Dazzlingly! Please come visit so you can see!
