About This Home

As of July 2016

Only 9 years young this stunningly finished Princeton home delivers all the needs of today's buyer in spades. Brilliantly executed by Herrontown Builders, everything inside and out, is of a quality befitting the esteemed cul de sac location. The curve of an arched entryway is repeated inside, along with high ceilings, paneled moldings and a palette of creamy whites. Sets of French doors encourage easy outdoor entertaining on the stone patio, which is cradled by wooded land beyond the enveloping lawn. In the open gourmet kitchen, glazed cabinetry and granite in contrasting tones join paneled Sub Zeros and Dacor appliances. A main floor guest suite is privately tucked away, near rear stairs leading to 3 more suites with plantation shutters, walk-in closets and bathrooms accented with shimmering glass tile. The graceful main staircase winds up to the master retreat, complete with a dressing room, limestone spa bath and one of two studies. The third floor is ready for media, billiards or both. Geothermal HVAC offers the height of green efficiency. Located within 3 miles of downtown Princeton and even closer to some of the areas finest schools, come see this remarkable opportunity.
