The turn-of-the-century John Charles Fremont Mirick House, a Colonial Revival across from Princeton's charming town center with panoramic views of the Boston skyline. A pristine "house beautiful" with tasteful renovations that embrace and enhance this landmark home's elegant qualities, including a remodeled and enlarged country kitchen with soapstone counters, Heritage custom oak cabinetry, 5-burner Thermador propane range, stainless appliances, built-ins and farmers sink, with a sunny breakfast area and a cozy nook for reading or relaxing. There are large picture windows and tall ceilings everywhere, creating light-filled spaces. Walk to the library or coffee shop and enjoy summer concerts on the Common from the stately screened porch. This home is evocative of a gracious bygone era, with distinctive touches you won't find elsewhere, including a brick courtyard. It's just lovely, and the sunrises are sensational. The attached barn offers generous storage and room for 2-3 cars.
