About This Home

As of March 2018

A marvelously-appointed home in a lovely Princeton neighborhood echoes the glamour of yesteryear while still providing many of today's modern comforts.

Elegant features interplay with creature comforts producing a space that is equally suited for entertaining or enjoying quiet time.

The kitchen has been updated with granite counters and stainless steel ovens. Four full bathrooms and a powder room service this home along with five bedrooms on two levels. A wood-paneled den with fireplace is perfect for television and media. Set back from the road with picturesque vistas, this home will not disappoint. Only 2 owners since 1968.
