1117 Canal Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

Situated on a gentle rise overlooking the picturesque D & R Canal, this enchanting reproduction of a Greek Revival house melds the charm of yesterday with 21 century amenities. The house features sunlit interiors with oak floors, pocket doors, and built-in cabinetry. The paneled library with wood-burning fireplace is an inviting retreat. French doors lead from the living and dining rooms to a romantic covered porch and bluestone terrace overlooking secluded grounds that back to 300 acres of preserved land. A gourmet kitchen, renovated by Lasley Brahaney, contains Christopher Peacock custom cabinetry, a large center island, solid wood countertops, a remarkable cast-iron Andes stove, a built-in Miele dishwasher, two Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, and an antique-style refrigerator. There is an adjoining sun-drenched great room with vaulted ceiling and expansive windows. The attached mudroom has built-ins that provide space to stow necessities neatly away. Upstairs, the master suite features a window seat overlooking the yard, twin walk-in closets, and a classic en suite bathroom. Two other charming bedrooms with ample closet space and a hall bath complete the second floor. There are miles of walking and horse trails behind this property and the D & R Canal and Tow Path across the street awaits for miles of canoeing, kayaking, and biking. This is a wonderful place to enjoy nature and the outdoors year round!
