About This Home

As of May 2024

Nestled in along a little-known Princeton Ridge private road lined with high-end homes, this stately beauty is embraced by an overall woodsy atmosphere, the perfect backdrop for enjoying the pool for countless summers to come. Relaid stone patios, a play zone and even a refurbished basketball court all benefit from the shady protection of magnificent trees. The extensively updated interior includes a sunroom, where you can appreciate the peaceful setting in any weather. Large rooms throughout the rest of the main level feature gorgeous hardwood floors, some refinished and some brand new. After a major makeover, the eat-in kitchen is a breath of fresh air with brilliant white cabinetry, continuous slabs of quartz and new hardware chosen to match the handsome doorknobs and modern lighting found all around the house. While the formal areas are definitely roomy, prepare to be awed by the voluminous family room lined with French doors, a stone fireplace and a wet bar. Two powder rooms allow one to always remain spotlessly clean and guest-ready. Upstairs, two brand new bathrooms are classically chic sporting marble tile and striking black fixtures. In the primary bath, a jetted Bain tub, rain shower and towel warmer are luxurious perks. Tucked beyond a handy flex space, the sprawling fourth bedroom is ideal for hosting as many overnight guests as you care to invite. Be sure to explore the vast basement, where you’ll find unlimited potential!
