About This Home

As of June 2017

With its grand scale and prestigious Western Section setting, this splendid 1930 Colonial-style residence impresses with sublime proportions, timeless style, and an award-winning exterior restoration, praised by the Historical Society of Princeton.

Warmth abounds in a handsome library and fireplace, plus a glass-lined patio area, the focal point of which is an indoor pool, ready to be filled for exercise or recreation. Large-scale entertaining is easily handled by formal living and dining rooms refined with French doors and graceful dimensions, and catered by an expansive staff kitchen and butler's pantry. A remarkable 9 bedrooms and 7 baths include staff quarters, a trio of bedrooms that share a sitting room and updated bath, and the grand master suite. Perfectly sited only blocks from the University and the area's finest dining and shopping.
