About This Home
As of October 2018Like a still from a classic Hollywood movie, this absolutely picture-perfect Colonial is a dream come to life! Proudly set on a favorite Institute street and formerly owned by mathematician and Einstein contemporary, Marston Morse, this quintessential Princeton home hosts with character-filled confidence in both its elegant formal rooms, as well as casual spaces Like a slate sunroom and a cathedral family room lit by clerestory windows, bookcase-flanked fireplace, and transomed French doors to the patio and a floral jewel box of a yard. Twin desk alcoves mark the transition to a spectacularly renovated kitchen, a wonderful workspace complete with a marble tile backsplash, cork floors, and a curved granite island. Wainscoting trims a powder room and expansive mudroom with a wall-wide storage bench. There's wonderful flexibility in the home's 5 bedrooms, which include a 1st floor 3-room suite for the perfect in-law/au pair scenario, and a master suite with an attached office. A bonus room with a full bath can be anything you please! 2-car garage.
