About This Home
As of August 2024No detail was overlooked and no luxury was denied at this impeccably kept home
perched on 2 acres in one of Princeton’s most impressive neighborhoods. Wide stone
steps and oversized gas lanterns create a welcoming entry, but it’s the resort-style
backyard that makes everyone want to stay all day. Like a forest spring amid towering
trees, water cascades into a free-form pool with built-in spa. Sliding into the saltwater is
the most refreshing way to cool off after a spirited game on the turf sport court or just
manning the grill on the walled stone patio. Thanks to a newly renovated lower level,
complete with a full bar and a sophisticated open theater, the good times continue well
after summer ends. High ceilings are a common feature throughout all levels and
incredible moldings draw the eye up for full appreciation, especially in the dining room.
Wide-open and well-equipped, the kitchen can handle multiple cooks and any menu
with ease. Side-by-side Sub-Zeros, double ovens, dishwasher drawers and a Miele
coffee station are just a few of the chef-approved features. Perhaps the most
indispensable spot in the whole house is the perfectly planned mudroom with a
dedicated place for everything and a second half bath. Every bedroom, all six of them,
has an organized closet and a private bathroom. While the primary suite is expected to
be a notch above, this one goes to all new heights! The sitting room features one of the
home’s three gas fireplaces, the huge bathroom boasts radiant heat and a steam
shower, and the larger of two walk-in closets has spiraling stairs to a second level. A
generator and an irrigation system are some of the unseen extras that make life easier
at this high-quality home.
