About This Home

Tucked away on a cul de sac within Princeton’s admired Ettl Farm community, this
Madison model dazzles with brand new updates and a prime lot with sweeping
open views. A fenced patio and gazebo beneath a maintenance-free composite deck
are perfectly positioned to capture southern sunlight. At the heart of the interior, the
stunning, new kitchen steals the show with Bosch appliances, waterfall-edge quartz,
brilliant white shaker cabinetry and extra light pouring in from the adjoining sunroom. It’s
a true showpiece designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Soaring ceilings
and skylights elevate the family room, while chic, modern lighting brings fresh style to
the living and dining rooms. A beautifully outfitted library with abundant built-ins and a
sunny bay presents the perfect work-from-home refuge. New carpeting extends
throughout all four bedrooms, including two suites and two sharing a crisp white bath.
The primary suite is luxuriously sized, complete with a sitting room, a three-sided
fireplace, dual walk-in closets and an expansive dressing room. The brand new spa
bath gleams with a sculptural slipper tub, illuminated mirrors and oversized tile that
together deliver a sleek, hotel feel. The finished basement offers exceptional versatility
with a wet bar, mirrored gym, sauna, full bath and two bonus rooms ideal for overflow
guests, hobbies or play. A 3-car garage with Tesla charger, a 2020 roof with solar
panels and fully updated HVAC systems further modernize this turn-key property so
close to top schools - Johnson Park Elementary, Stuart Country Day, The Hun School
and more.
