• Remarks Public: Solidly built of brick and crowned with a slate roof, this beautifully adorned residence was designed for the son of James Garfield in 1908. The obvious place for a president's son was right at the entrance to Princeton's prestigious Western Section. More illustrious names followed. Nobel Laureate and Einstein chum, Thomas Mann, and the President of the Norwegian Parliament also happily made a home here. A brick garden wall lends intimacy to the 1-acre landscaped grounds, while a dual-access driveway provides easy maneuverability for ample parking. The reception hall with a marble floor and fireplace makes a fittingly grand first impression. Continue through to the dining and living room, which is now one vast space flanked by twin sunrooms. Light pours through a centered floor-to-ceiling bowed window. Intricately carved door pediments, crown molding and marble mantles are works of art. When it comes to hosting a fete or celebratory dinner, this trio of rooms is simply unparalleled. A wood paneled library holds another of the 8 fireplaces. The kitchen, butlers pantry and breakfast room comprise the eastern end of the main level. As many as 10 bedrooms can be reconfigured to suit individual needs. Five large bedrooms served by 3 bathrooms are on the second floor, with attic rooms and servants quarters above.
