Property Description
bustling downtown and Princeton University's world-class campus, astonishing
artistry and a fascinating history combine for a home like no other. As refined as
it appears from the courtyard entry, it only gets more impressive as you continue
through the array of rooms discovering storied mantelpieces, carved woodwork
and imported fixtures along the way. The deep grounds also never fail to surprise
and delight all who are lucky enough to spend a day relaxing by the Roman-style
pool or dining on the stone terrace. The lawn and formal garden have even
hosted tented celebrations for hundreds with ease. The 1840 house welcomes
you into the foyer, where a mural's softly colored tree branches reach toward an
unusually high ceiling. The living room is large enough for a combination of
seating areas or even billiards, as the current set-up shows. Pocket doors allow a
view of the library's elaborately detailed woodwork while seated in the classically
styled dining room. Plenty of sunshine and radiant heat keep the marble-clad
family room from ever feeling chilly. New quartz countertops freshen up the crisp
white kitchen with a wealth of storage around every turn. A breezeway connects
the three-car garage and leads to a pool house like no other, where glass and
crystal creations custom-made in Paris by the artisans of Lalique conjure a
magical underwater fantasy world. Carved sea creatures whimsically watch over
the gathering space served by a full kitchen, wine cellar and bathrooms worthy of
Poseidon himself! Above, a playroom/gym provides plenty of space for healthy
indoor recreation. The upper levels of the main house hold seven bedrooms
served by five baths. The largest and airiest of those bedrooms radiate from the
light-filled landing, along with an office beyond fanlight-topped pocket doors. The
main suite has it all: dressing room, fireplace, marble bath, sunroom and a deck
overlooking a trickling water feature and stunning trees that put on an autumnal
show. This is your chance to leave your mark on one of the Western Section's
finest showplaces.
