Property Description
Grounds of unparalleled privacy and beauty begin at a gated driveway just over 3 miles from downtown Princeton and spread out over nearly 20 acres ensuring a serene experience whether lounging beside the colorfully landscaped pool, perfecting your form on the lit tennis/sport court or just enjoying the sights and sounds of nature on one of the stone terraces. A hidden parking area keeps the front courtyard of the polished brick Georgian reserved for guests, who are sure to be delighted upon entry to the stunning foyer with its grand architectural elements rooted in tradition for a look that never goes out of style. The living room is sized for celebrations and, when not in use, provides an ideal buffer when working from home in the adjoining mahogany library, featuring one of 7 fireplaces. The dining room opens to a well-equipped butler’s pantry for easy service and useful auxiliary space close to the kitchen. Warm and homey with plenty of seating at the island and in a cheerful breakfast bay, the kitchen was expertly planned and fitted with custom cabinetry to last a lifetime. Most rooms, including the family room, open to the outdoors, where clipped boxwoods contain bountiful blooms for amazing views whether French doors are open or closed. The screened porch offers sheltered fresh air within sight of the pool, which is served by a full kitchen and 2 separate cabanas with full baths. An array of bedroom suites, 6 in total, include an apartment-style set-up ideal for a nanny or in-laws and a main suite with an abundance of amenity-rich space. The airy main bath shimmers in cascading tile and onyx, while a hidden doorway reveals a splendidly finished dressing room with secondary bath. Dormered bonus spaces on both upper levels offer a choice of spots for play, study or bunkroom-style sleepovers! An estate-level property with this much space, indoors and out, in such a superior location is a rare opportunity in Princeton. Come see! While most bathrooms have had recent updates, some photos are virtually staged.
