20 Elm Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
About this home
Back on the market and fully available with recent work executed by Baxter Construction! Situated on nearly two acres in Princeton's Western Section, and around the corner from town, this ivy-clad brick home beckons with utterly livable luxury. The first floor provides room after light-filled room of functional space: The chef-approved, eat-in island kitchen opens to a casual dining area and TV room, with a bonus room ideal for a home office. Beautifully designed built-ins line the library/den, inviting you to curl up with a book. The promise of fun and games abounds in the sunny living room, with French doors leading to a covered patio. From there, a well-tended yard draws you outside to explore the fenced-in pool area and pool house, and a treehouse beyond the hedgerow, designed for an afternoon of creative play. A fully equipped mudroom accessible from the two-car garage, along with an elegant butler's pantry, round out the main level. A graceful staircase off the front foyer leads to a second floor brimming with generous storage and multi-generational-use rooms. A master suite with dual walk-in closets, full bathroom, and sitting room with decorative fireplace overlooks the backyard. Each of the additional five bedrooms offer direct access to either an en-suite or shared bathroom. At the end of the hall, a suite of bed, bath, and sitting rooms with a separate entrance awaits, providing a more private setting for guests. Finally, the third floor entices with endless possibilities: Vaulted ceilings bring copious light into this versatile space that includes a complete bathroom and capacity for a home gym or play/recreation area.
