About This Home

As of September 2020

With a newly-remodeled, resort-style backyard so spectacular it is featured in the EP Henry catalogue, this 5 bedroom stunner peacefully tucks into nearly 2 acres a mere 10 minutes from downtown Princeton. Tall trees frame the ultimate staycation: a heated pavilion with a stone fireplace and outdoor kitchen, sparkling swimming pool, and tennis court - all connected by outdoor lighting, tiered deck and sprawling paver patios. Up-to-the-moment interiors are chic, sunny, and light-hearted. A newly renovated chef's kitchen with quartz counters plays an elegant supporting role to open and airy entertaining spaces: formal living and dining rooms, 2-part family room, and a fireside "Mad Men"-style office with a built-in bar. A 1st floor bedroom suite offers the perfect au pair/guest set up; a loft-style landing with a reading nook connects 4 more bedroom suites, including the owner's suite whose boutique hotel vibes include a gas fireplace, a 2-room boutique-style closet and gym, and a marble-trimmed bath. 2 half baths handle visitors and the pool.
