About This Home
As of May 2023Charm and style effortlessly blends in this handsome colonial nestled in a quiet road just minutes from downtown Princeton. Carefully renovated by its current owners it embraces todays modern lifestyle, yet honors its heritage with original features such as detailed moldings and original door hardware. The heart of this home is the great room style family room and kitchen. Tastefully renovated, the kitchen ticks all the boxes from high end appliances such as Thermador dual oven with 6 burner cook top with griddle, SubZero built in refrigerator and freezer and Thermador dishwasher. Custom cabinetry was designed to mimic original cabinetry in the room. Counters are Calcutta Gold Marble and the oversized island with breakfast bar displays it perfectly. Note the attention to detail such as the tiled backdrops for the glass cabinetry and the useful shelf across the stove area. To add a little pizzazz the farmhouse style sink is crafted in stainless steel. The living space has access to the blue stone patios on either side of the room and has a gas fireplace for cozy nights in. Don’t miss the pantry! Leading from the kitchen is the mudroom with access to the garages. The ceramic tile laid in a herringbone pattern makes for easy clean up on the muddiest of days and the cubbies as well as a coat closet provide lots of storage for those hats and scarves that go missing. The more formal living spaces are at the front of the home, the paneled dining room, has an intimate feeling like wise with the living room. The living room with a wall of built-ins for storage, provides a wonderful spot for entertaining and it is the home for the second of the house’s fireplaces. Glass doors lead into a bright sun room, with its flag stone flooring could be a place to test out your green thumb as a garden room or just a spot to relax. To complete the first floor there is a renovated half bath with Carrera marble sink and Waterworks faucets. The paneling was added as a nod to the classicism of the original home. The primary bedroom suite of the home is breathtaking. The vaulted ceiling of the sleeping area, provides space for the dramatic windows and door to the balcony over looking the rear yard. Imagine your morning coffee sitting outside and enjoying nature. The walk-in closet is a good size and a closet system has been installed. The private ensuite bath has been recently renovated. The double vanity is topped with Carrera marble. If you need more storage there is a linen closet too. The large shower has a bench and has just recently been completed. There is also a deep soaking Jacuzzi jetted tub to relax in. One of the other bedrooms has its own bathroom with a tub shower combination. There is a hall bath for the other two bedrooms. One bedroom has its own extra space which could have a variety of uses from a play room to home work room or even a “lounge” area. Lots of possibilities. There are hardwood floors throughout the home. Come visit today!
