About This Home

As of June 2021

Designed by renowned architect and Princeton University professor, Henry Jandl, and home to only 2 lucky families, this dynamic mid-century modern is poised perfectly to honor nature in every single room. A trio of transomed glass sliders in sweeping living and dining areas bring in wooded views of the yard and backing Battlefield Park. Come nightfall, a wall-wide sandstone fireplace becomes a stunning focal point, or step out onto the stone patio to admire the stars. A renovated SieMatic kitchen is lustrous with granite counters and backsplash; double ovens and a 6-burner stove by Gaggenau provide high-end practicality. Overlooking the fenced, in-ground pool is an office/bedroom; a wing of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths includes a restful primary suite and laundry room. The walk-out lower level is expansive, housing a family room with a wood-burning stove, full bath, and studio/guest quarters. Hardwood floors line the main levels. All nestled in a graceful curve of the Parkside neighborhood, just a 4-minute drive to Nassau Street.
