With a prized town ‘n’ gown location and the character-rich comfort that only an historic home can offer, a quintessentially Princeton experience awaits at this c.1850 Colonial proudly maintained by the same family for decades. Step past the neatly clipped front hedge to find yourself among the town’s most treasured destinations, like the revitalized Garden Theater, Princeton University’s famous Firestone Library, and Palmer Square. While in the backyard, surrounded by mature magnolia, maple and holly trees, it’s easy to forget these heart-of-town attractions are so close by! Inside, a fan-light transom illuminates the graciously scaled foyer, while light streams through tall windows in the parlor and living room—which adjoin with French doors and feature side-by-side fireplaces. Beautiful oak floors run throughout the main level, which boasts 9-foot ceilings and a dramatic family room addition by Richardson Smith Architects wrapped in built-ins and glass. A wet bar is centrally positioned for easy access from the broad bluestone patio and the large eat-in kitchen, warmed by a brick fireplace. The spacious dining room can host a crowd with ease and elegance. Discreet, yet indispensable, a full bath serves the main floor. Up the wide, turned staircase, the primary suite has a beautiful bay window and dressing room leading into its marble-accented bath. Two additional bedrooms have wide-plank wood floors and their own fireplaces, while a third basks in treetop views. The roomy hall bath is right next to the laundry room—a rare convenience in an antique home! A dedicated office fosters work-from-home productivity, while the two-room third floor, complete with a full bath, is poised to become the ultimate study or storybook-style hideaway. Further unexpected perks include a temperature-controlled wine cellar and an oversized two-car garage. Infuse the interior with your personal style and make this in-town treasure truly your own!
