About this home

A sun-dappled setting of over 2 acres is the prime spot for this Princeton Ridge Contemporary, the first modern home built on Stuart Road East. It is the vision of its one and only owner, Ernie Schwiebert, an award-winning Princeton-educated architect, as well as a world-renowned angler, author, artist and conservationist. Soaring, wood-sheathed ceilings draw the eye upward, while vast panes of glass frame the landscape dotted with rocks and boulders characteristic of the area. Not only is it a wondrous, ever-evolving scene, it s also easy to maintain. A bookshelf-lined library has a cozy feel that is in sharp contrast to the adjoining living room, the airy hub of the house grounded by a massive brick fireplace with floating hearth, a magnet for gathering. In addition to the dining room, the all-wood kitchen offers a breakfast area. On the first and second floors, 5 bedrooms are nicely private. The third floor is poised to become the master suite of your dreams. A studio over the garage awaiting completion also has boundless potential. Whatever your passion, this window-lined space will inspire you to follow it. Princeton Day School is a turn away and Stuart Country Day is across the street.
