About This Home

As of July 2024

It should come as no surprise this expanded Colonial is expertly designed for gracious living, easy entertaining and an instant transition from workday to after-hours relaxation. After all, it's the former home of in-demand architect, Cathy Knight, known for her detail-oriented, timeless transformations. One of the most stunning attributes of this house, however, is outdoors, where ornamental trees and a vine-draped pergola perfectly frame the pool and circular spa. Overlooking the scene is the central kitchen with a user-friendly cooking island, sunlit sink and window-wrapped breakfast area. An adjoining conservatory-style great room is the centerpiece of the house with a bar, built-ins and gas fireplace cozying up one end, making it equally inviting for special occasions or movie night. A main floor suite with private entrance is ideal for in-laws, while 5 more bedrooms occupy the second floor, including the main suite with a decadent clawfoot tub surrounded by striking marble tile. For those working or studying from home, a tucked-away library offers space to spread out, as does a lofty studio over the 3-car garage. The house stands on over 2 picturesque acres in a small, sought-after neighborhood conveniently situated less than 3 miles from both downtown Princeton and all the necessities of Nassau Park Blvd for easy errand-running.
