About This Home
As of November 2019One of the best locations in Princeton! With The Institute for Advanced Study and its 500+ acres of trails and open space just off its backyard, 96 Battle Road is idyllic but just minutes from town. This classic, corner-lot home, designed by locally renowned architect Francis Comstock, enjoys perfectly scaled rooms from which to view its beautiful terraced gardens. Step into the fireside living room to begin to appreciate the home's graciousness, hardwoods, and natural light. French doors lead to a patio and the gardens planted with lilacs, peonies, roses, and more. The spacious kitchen gleams with a Viking professional range, Corian counters - easily catering elegant dinners in the view-filled dining room. French doors lead from the family room to the patios and paths. An Art Deco-inspired staircase rises to an open landing, which feels like its own room, thanks to the custom bookcases and window seat. Two of the four bedrooms have en suite bath rooms, the master with a private office, as well as a walk-in California closet.
