Situated on a cul-de-sac that's known to be the quietest spot in Princeton's Western Section, this brick Traditional is as peaceful as it is pristine. Within the generous, high-ceilinged rooms, carefully considered details make a big difference, such as new teak floors, on-trend light fixtures, custom shutters and gleaming nickel door knobs. The open gray and white kitchen also shines anew with a glass tile backsplash and just installed Wolf, Sub-Zero and Jenn Air appliances. Three indoor fireplaces are all gas, but out on the terrace overlooking the landscaped yard, a wood-burning fireplace sets the perfect mood on a fall evening. A grand staircase in the foyer leads up to the huge master suite with corner windows beneath a tray ceiling and separate walk-in closets. Two sets of bedrooms each have a gorgeous shared bathroom with luminous granite-topped double vanity. A handy rear staircase lends extra privacy to a fifth bedroom suite. A new 3-zone HVAC, furnace and water heater ensure optimal comfort throughout the house. If your wishlist includes a gym, wine cellar or theater, there's space to spare in the sprawling basement.

Privately set at the end of a picturesque cul-de-sac, this grand Western Section home is a deft blend of classically elegant spaces and a modern open floor plan, a rare and wonderful combination in this prized neighborhood. Sublime proportions, high ceilings, and handsome molding begin in a dramatic, marble foyer with a sweeping staircase and extend into a lovely dining room with a fireplace and butler's pantry, large living room with built-ins, sunlit study, and an expansive family room with a window-flanked fireplace. An airy breakfast room opens to the spectacularly-appointed kitchen. Front and back staircases lead to 6 beautiful bedrooms, each with inside access to full baths. A tray ceiling soars above the refined master suite, which delights with a gas fireplace, twin walk-in closets, and vaulted sky-lit bath. A walk-up attic and extra-height basement provide wonderful expansion possibilities. Manicured grounds embrace a tiered patio with a field stone fireplace and waterfall. Just a short walk away, Princeton's rich and vibrant downtown beckons!
