613 Snowden Ln Princeton, NJ 08540

Located in Princeton's Littlebrook neighborhood and surrounded by Smoyer Park, this expanded colonial has been proudly updated and redesigned by the current owner with luxury bathroom renovations and a stunning kitchen transformation. Carefully sketched and then executed were custom stone and tile work, glass windows/doors and high-end fixtures/selections, all instituted to create a modern lifestyle. Perfectly scaled rooms are sensed upon entry with the flow of stone floors throughout the first level. The hall foyer with coat closet and powder room opens to a front-to-back living room with a center fireplace and a long bank of casement windows with views of the backyard. The living room fireplace is flanked by openings leading to the office/study with a vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling exposed brick wall and a set of French doors that lead to a private patio for fresh air during your workday. Calacutta marble shelving in a unique organic shape, ebbs and flows to provides excellent display space for artwork and other worthy objects. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with Viking appliances consisting of a refrigerator, wine cooler, cook-top, double wall ovens and a heating drawer; stone flooring, granite counters and breakfast bar all in handsome colors are contrasted by lighter custom maple cabinets. A gallery with French doors to the two-level terraced patio was specifically designed to allow indoor flow from dining room to family room without cutting through the kitchen and disturbing the chef. The kitchen opens to a fabulous dining area on the right side with a custom window filling an entire wall that strikes a commanding view of the gardens and on the left side, a sunken family room with a vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling sky light attraction that leaves a photographic memory in one's mind. A main floor bedroom is a perfect guest suite with a marble work area and stunning bathroom installation of glass tiles, marble and frosted glass; a pocket door can easily add a second powder room use for large gatherings. Upstairs has a gracious hall foyer with a front-to-back master suite with a walk-in closet and an elegant bathroom installation of curved glass block in the shower and waterfall flow of specially crafted wall-to-floor tiles. Two more bedrooms share a hall bathroom with another unique installation of tile. Both bathrooms have custom cabinets, mirrors and lighting. The lower level is partially finished for wine storage and allows for additional storage and/or become living space should one decide, the oversize two-car garage has pull down steps for more storage and the garage floor has been treated with an attractive epoxy coating. Over approximately a 20 year period, this 1.3-acre parcel has been transformed into a series of meticulous gardens formed and enhanced with sculptural and architectural elements and filled with specimen plants and trees that provide color every month of the year; terraced patios for spectacular outdoor entertaining where local artisans designed arbors, gates and unobtrusive LED lighting to enhance the beauty of outdoor living in this private setting. Included is a hot-tub behind privacy hedges and a full house automatic natural gas generator! Fine finishes throughout, a list of upgrades upon request. Welcome home!
