About this home

Anyone who's made their way through Princeton's famous Western Section has picked out a dream home. For many, this is the one that stands out among all the eye-catching properties as the pinnacle of splendor and graciousness. Its angle on a prominent corner affords the fountain-splashed terraces and sun-dappled pool as much privacy as a country estate, but with Palmer Square, McCarter Theater and the activity of the University just a stroll away. The interior is dressed to the nines after being recently redecorated. Now, hand-stenciled walls, bespoke window treatments and opulent new bathrooms join the numerous fireplaces, French doors and incredible moldings that made the home a show-stopper in the first place. Off the grand foyer, where a wet bar hides under the split staircase, is a party-perfect living room that flows out to a covered loggia, as well as separate studies - both inviting jewel-boxes in which to grab some quiet time. In the kitchen, a thick slab of marble provides ample island workspace beside a Wolf range and bright breakfast area. Conveniently extending from the coffered family room, a mud entry and breezeway connect a 3-bay garage. The way the current owners live shows just how modern and adaptable the upper levels can be. A central bedroom lined with built-ins makes a perfect lounge for the younger set, while another of the 6 total bedrooms is a suite sized for two. The crown jewel of the multi-room main suite is a glimmering mosaic tiled bathroom fit for a queen. A third floor gym is lined with interior windows for a motivating dose of morning light. There are so many exceptional details here, both new and original, to discover and admire.

Live the good life in the heart of Princeton's Western Section, just a stroll from Palmer Square, the University and McCarter Theater. This brick beauty meets all of today's needs while maintaining an air of dignity, thanks to a seamless expansion by Lasley Brahaney, comfortable high-end updates, and an abundance of period detailing. Original spaces, both roomy and intimate, can be as formal or casual as desired, dictated only by personal taste. The main entry never fails to render guests speechless with its split staircase and graceful millwork, while the side entry and breezeway conveniently bridge the 3-car garage and the sunny gourmet kitchen. A coffered ceiling feels both refined and cozy in the adjoining family room. Upstairs, rooms for play, work or relaxation join 6 bedrooms. The enviable multi-room master wing has his and hers bathrooms, 3 of the home's 7 fireplaces and lovely views of the grounds. The landscaped lot, which is 1.27 quiet acres, offers a pool beyond a lush lawn and lengthy terrace. Some first floor rooms do not have central air conditioning. Tax assessment has been lowered from 3.763,300 in 2013 to 3,386,300 in 2014. Taxes at 2013 rate would be 72,162. The 2014 rate should be determined by August 2014.
