About This Home

As of June 2024

It is rare to describe a Princeton home as being "all about the view" but when you lay eyes on this incredible, elevated Mid-Century Modern, you will have a whole new understanding of the word "majestic!" High above Stony Brook with birds’ eye vistas over the stunning waterway, almost every room in this sprawling 6-7 bedroom home provides the feeling of being one with nature. Constructed in 1960 by its one and only owner, this home would function beautifully in a multi-generational setup thanks to separate wings that provide privacy and flexibility for all. The main level has a bedroom and bathroom near the mudroom and garage, perfect for guests or help. On the other side of vast formal spaces with breathtaking views, a large studio with a full bathroom, a bedroom, and a home office are set off by themselves. Above is the primary suite with a window wall facing the water below. A Juliet balcony allows you to open a door to nature's soothing sounds, and the option of adding a new second-story balcony to replace one that was removed. Two bathrooms, a dressing closet, and a fireplace complete this suite. Another second-floor wing provides up to three additional bedrooms (or rooms to be used to your liking) and another bathroom. The living room, with its glass doors leading to an elevated deck, and a commanding wood-burning fireplace, is the ultimate entertainment room adjoined by the dining room, and the kitchen, all looking out onto more water views. With its quality construction (and even a local pedigree mid-century architect available to consult with), this Princeton retreat provides an unparalleled experience you won't find anywhere else!
