About This Home

As of November 2025

Set on 2.38 acres in the naturally peaceful area known as Princeton Ridge, this stunning home designed by Princeton-educated architect Robert Bennett exudes classic elegance and quiet luxury. Towering trees and sculptural boulders dot the yard for an impactful landscape that’s easy to maintain. A saltwater pool is separately fenced and heated, offering recreation well into the fall. Bluestone decking matches the patios, all of which bask in warm southern exposure. Inside, sun-drenched spaces are positively expansive, including the kitchen, renovated in late 2020 to be a modern chef’s dream with open sightlines into the family room and beyond. Miele appliances surround a tiered island topped with thick quartzite, while a walk-in pantry and a full-sized wine fridge keep everything stylishly organized within easy reach. Tall wood doors accentuate 10-foot ceilings throughout the first floor and fireplaces are warm focal points in both the great room and a versatile office lined with built-ins. In the airy, tray-ceilinged sunroom, floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors highlight a lovely rose garden. Thanks to 3-zone heating and A/C, this favored spot stays as cozy or cool as you’d like, year-round. A new bathroom serves a main level bedroom suite, ideal for guests, while a powder room off the mud entry is handy to the 3-car garage. Catering to modern needs, the laundry room is located upstairs convenient to five more bedrooms and a huge bonus room. The main suite has all the features required of a sumptuous sanctuary: tray ceiling, fireplace, breathtaking views and customized walk-in closets. Honed soapstone details the bathroom, where a magnificent tub is the relaxing centerpiece. Further improvements include many new windows and updated flooring.
