About This Home

As of December 2015

It's no wonder this mid-century modern residence incorporates some of the best elements of striking public buildings of its time. The husband and wife architectural team, Victorine DuPont Homsey and Samuel Homsey, who designed it, were much in-demand after successfully completing several important museums. Favoring large rooms with tall streamlined doors, windows stacked floor to ceiling, and discreet storage, the spaces are ideal for entertaining, showcasing art of any style and just de-cluttering the mind. Joseph Esrey Johnson, a U.N. delegate and president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, commissioned the house as his summer retreat, surely did all three on the substantial wooded Princeton property above a stream. Johnson used the house as his home-base while serving the United Nations. Imagine the array of guests welcomed into the grand terrazzo foyer and the tales the thick plaster walls could tell. The house has served as a wedding venue and has hosted many gala parties. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 3 fireplaces, one of which warms a lower level family room filled with light. Skylights also funnel sunshine into a circular stairwell, as well as the central foyer. The living and dining rooms flow out to a deck and screened porch, while the kitchen opens to a sheltered summer garden for grilling and growing herbs. This storied sanctuary stands just 1 mile from Palmer Square. Some updating needed.
