Sold during processing. This grand turn of the century American Gothic residence was built in the style of Princeton University architecture. Originally, the right half of a larger home, this home was seamlessly expanded by Glen Fries for the current owners in 1993, adding a grander side entrance accessing a chef-worthy kitchen, breakfast area overlooking the secluded back yard, and a spacious adjoining family room with gas-log fireplace. The addition exposes the original stone exterior inside the new space and is sheathed in the same stone on its exterior. Upstairs, the addition provides two generous en-suite bedrooms. In the 1903 portion, the original grand dining room nows serves as the living room, with stained wood trim and shutters, leaded glass windows, and one of the four fireplaces. Fries cleverly combined two smaller rooms to create a lovely period perfect dining room with built-ins matching the living room. A cozy study and two powder rooms complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom bears the features of the 1903 residence with fireplace and ensuite bath. Nearby is a second study with spiral staircase to a spacious third floor bonus room. A hall bath with convenient stackable washer/dryer and three more bedrooms, one an ensuite, complete the second floor. On the lower level, a large laundry room with two sets of washers and dryers, a recreation room, and wine storage add practicality. Glass doors open onto a lovely bluestone terrace overlooking the lush circular lawn edged with tall hedges. A separate carriage house provides 3-car secure parking with a 5-room apartment above with walls of stained oak bookcases - perfect for guests, home office, or extra income.
