About This Home
As of April 2022Purchased by the current owners 10 years ago, as partially-completed new construction, this all-brick colonial, on a peaceful side street in the Western Section of Princeton, was then finished to perfection by custom craftsman. Brazilian cherry floors, 10-foot ceilings and gorgeous millwork are hallmarks of every room. Off the foyer lies a sweet study with its wall of bookcases and a gas fireplace. A formal powder room is adjacent, as is a bank of hall coat closets. The living room opens through French doors to the bluestone patio, and is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry. A formal dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows and cove lighting, while the large butler's pantry and mud room contain an informal powder room and walk-in pantry. Honed granite countertops, a grand island and suite of stainless appliances can be found in the kitchen, which opens to the family room, and through French doors, onto the bluestone patio. Four large bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom access, are found upstairs, including a lovely and private master with a lavish bath and several closet spaces, including 2 walk-in closets. Elevator space was constructed on each floor, and an elevator can be easily installed, if desired. The finished basement has a large recreation room, half bath, an exercise room or wine cellar, storage space, a laundry room and plenty of room for; pool, ping-pong, movies and games. A two-car attached and finished garage opens to the fenced and open backyard with mature flowering trees and perennials. Just around the corner, lies the gracious President's Residence of Princeton University. Perfectly positioned for an easy walk; downtown, to the University, The Institute for Advanced Study or to McCarter Theatre, as well as possessing excellent proximity to the train station for access to NYC and Philadelphia.
