About This Home
Tucked into a surprisingly serene pocket of Princeton’s Western Section, this home feels worlds away, yet town is just moments beyond the trees. A magical woodland setting unfolds around the architecturally striking family room, where wraparound windows frame views of a gentle stream. Floor-to-ceiling shelving, built-in seating and a brass-edged stone fireplace create the ultimate spot to curl up with a book on a rainy afternoon. For entertaining, the sunken living room offers a lighter, airier atmosphere with French doors opening to the stone patio. The sunny, white kitchen connects easily to the dining room, as well as a practical workstation that keeps daily life organized. One of five bedrooms is privately situated in a quiet main-floor corner with a full bath and its own shaded stone patio, making it equally suited for guests or as a convenient primary suite option. Upstairs, two staircases and two full baths allow for remarkable flexibility, including the potential for separate multi-room wings. Hardwood floors, three fireplaces, oversized windows and the enduring quality of mid-century construction further distinguish this nestled-in-nature Princeton retreat in a perennially desirable location.
