About This Home

As of July 2024

Holding pride of place atop a gentle hill in a quiet corner of Princeton, a custom-built
home stands on a larger-than-usual lot that encourages everyone to get out and live life
in the fresh air. Glorious flowering trees shade a stone walkway up to a lighted sport
court that can host full-court basketball, tennis, pickleball, hockey... you name it! Just
below, a recently added fenced pool is served by a pool house with a kitchenette,
bathroom and plenty of shelter from the sun. The gated 2.89-acre lot also has structures
for creative play, plenty of grassy areas to run around and ample parking in the
beautifully planted circular driveway. A bluestone terrace with a fire pit and grilling area
is just beyond French doors lining the back of the house. So, whether you're in the
tucked-away study, the fireplace-lit family room or the sunny breakfast area, you're just
a step away from outdoor paradise. Indoor spaces, beginning with the stunning foyer,
are filled with sophisticated details, like paneled walls, glimmering light fixtures and
inlaid wood floors. Even the finished basement, with a gym and full bath, features real
hardwood. The fresh white kitchen has all the major must-haves, like a double Viking
range and paneled Sub Zero, plus handy extras, such as fridge drawers and a bar area.
Custom cabinetry in the adjoining mudroom is just high quality. Up two staircases, each
of five bedrooms has a distinctive feel, whether it comes from a cozy alcove or a broad
balcony. The bathrooms are all done in marble with the main bath being the largest and
most luxurious. In addition to an upper lounge area, a third floor suite with yet another
beautiful bathroom is ready for guests, play or a personal getaway.
