About This Home
As of December 2022Situated on a 2+ acre lot in the Pretty Brook section of Princeton, this classic colonial was redesigned with an addition in 2009 by Kathy Knight, architect and built by Baxter Construction, creating an atmosphere of style, comfort, and practicality. The center entrance hall is flanked by formal rooms , on the left is a living room with a fireplace that opens into a generous size study with two walls of built-in bookcases and cabinets. On the right of the foyer is a formal dining room with easy access to the kitchen which flows into the first of two family rooms. The kitchen has two beautiful garden windows offering front and backyard views, a breakfast bar, center island and white cabinets with high end stainless steel appliances : Sub-Zero, Bosch and Thermador. An adjacent great room addition with a vaulted ceiling and a third fireplace has handsome built-ins and windows from floor to ceiling making this a spectacular gathering room. A long back hallway is dotted with doors to a powder room, a stunning (and I mean stunning) laundry room with high ceilings, sky lights, folding counter, built-in cabinets, washer, dryer, sink and dog shower! A second entrance porch and door opens to the newly constructed wing forming a mudroom with a walk-in coat closet, access to the three bay garage and a back staircase to the upper 5th bedroom suite with a sitting room and private bath. The main staircase leads to a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and private bath, a second ensuite which is located at the other end of the home and two more bedrooms that share a full hall bath, (one room has direct bathroom access). The lower level is finished into play space with a separate storage area. The landscaping and hardscaping, designed by Megan Drago of Home and Garden, enhance the addition with walkways, patios, raised beds and plantings. Plenty of land remains untouched with room to run, drop-in a pool or expand the lawn and gardens. 5 minute drive to the town of Princeton, the University, shopping and dining.
