About This Home
As of December 2013Set well back behind a stretch of white picket fence, this elegant Princeton home and its surrounding 7+ acres, which adjoin Jasna Polana, were lovingly known as "Shadow Mawr" back in 1890. The property was sold in 1920 and has remained in the same family ever since. Enter into the wide center hall with a powder room tucked beneath the grand staircase adorned with urn finials. Both formal rooms have fireplaces and deep crown molding accentuating high ceilings. An archway frames the library, while a butler's pantry with original cabinetry leads to the big kitchen. Four corner bedrooms include the master suite with a pretty dressing room and private bathroom. Hidden stairs lead all the way up to 2 more bedrooms and a bath opening from a bright playroom or office. With walk-in and cedar-lined closets, storage is plentiful. One of 2 covered porches symmetrically flanking the house has a view of the pool and chicken coop turned cabana. Past a charming glass pump house and the garage, stands a classic red barn.
