About This Home
As of May 2023Rarely does a home in the Western Section come on the market that has been completely restored. Thoughtfully renovated with attention to every detail and with the superb craftsmanship of Baxter Construction, the next owners will enjoy a turn-key modern home and the downtown Princeton lifestyle. This stucco tudor offers generous room sizes - 6 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths and three levels of living. Downstairs is a gracious foyer with a grand spiral staircase, a large family room with a sunroom behind it, dining room, and a family room that opens to a large deck. The kitchen, designed by Lisa Tobias of Tobias Designs in Hopewell, offers generous entertainment space. Appliances include two sub zero drawer freezers, two Miele dishwashers, custom stainless Miele vent hood, Miele induction cooktop, convection oven, combi-steam oven and warming oven. In the beverage area, there is a Subzero beverage fridge and a wine fridge along with a Subzero Ice maker. Upstairs is a main bedroom suite with a custom walk-in closet that is the dream of any fashionista! Cabinetry was custom made with Baxter construction’s team - center island has a quartzite countertop, brass Baldwin hardware and a shoe closet custom designed with repurposing the original closet doors from the home. Every bathroom has been extensively renovated with replacement of plumbing, electrical and taken down to the studs. Three zones of forced hot air, A/C and one split unit in the office have been added. Sewer line and water line to the house has been replaced, along with adding two water heaters, water pressure booster, whole house water filter, lawn sprinkler and reverse osmosis in the kitchen. Windows on the second floor have been replaced with Marvin tilt-back windows, the remaining windows have been repaired and preserved by re-glazing and painted. Period hardware has been replaced with modern replicas on every door and wall in the home. The roof was replaced in the Fall of 2022. Spacious backyard hardscape with blue stone with space for a pool. Too many details to list as this is a special home with a mixture of classic Princeton but with a touch of modern, contemporary details.
