About This Home
In a tranquil corner of Princeton, this expansive French Country-inspired estate home sits onnearly five acres of manicured lawns, with glorious trees and plantings, bluestone walkways,terraces, and a reflection pond with fountains on the completely fenced-in grounds. A hugepavilion with lighting and ceiling fans will be the favorite place to dine after a day spent by thecolossal free-form swimming pool. This serene poolside retreat includes a sauna and a poolhouse with a full bath, a changing room, a kitchenette, and a loft. Palatial, yet homey, theinterior’s traditional details glimpse its storied past. Princeton’s prominent Pettit family once livedhere, and no expense was spared in its construction. From room to room, rich wood paneling,barrel-vaulted archways, window seats, elaborate moldings and woodwork, and fireplacesadorned with marble hearths echo the Gilded Age when homes were built for entertaining on thegrandest scale. The kitchen was modernized along with a fireside breakfast room and featurestop-of-the-line gourmet appliances, multiple dishwashers and sinks, wine storage, and exquisitemaple and granite countertops. Two rear staircases add to the home’s functionality, with one inthe mudroom that leads to a bedroom wing with a bathroom, ideal for live-in help. The grandfront staircase climbs to the other four bedrooms and a home office.
