About This Home
As of August 2020Gleaming hardwood floors welcome you into this beautiful, traditional Princeton home situated on two acres, previously renovated by respected local architect Max Hayden. On the first floor, a wood-burning fireplace and antiqued walls add a rustic feel to the large living room, while a bright home office offers custom cabinets and a bay window. Just down the hall is the formal dining room and a luxurious eat-in chef's kitchen that includes a six-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge; custom cabinets, large island, granite countertops and another wood-burning fireplace are all complemented by gorgeous, handcrafted, terracotta floor tiles. The light-filled great room boasts a beamed, vaulted ceiling, built-in cabinetry and yet another fireplace. Retreat upstairs to the master suite, which includes two walk-in closets and a spa-like ensuite bathroom; four more bedrooms and two additional bathrooms complete the second floor. A second staircase is ideal for out-of-town guests, offering convenience and privacy. An expansive, fully finished basement provides even more flexible space, perfect for family fun and entertaining. Enjoy serene views of the private, tree-lined backyard from the deck or screened-in porch. Fancy a game of tennis? You re in luck! A private tennis court is mere steps from the door. All of this - and so much more - is located just four miles from downtown Princeton and minutes from a wide array of cultural events, major highways and plentiful shopping.
