Palm Springs In Princeton - Sitting atop a hill with gentle sloping views of a private pond, this mid-century house exudes the vibe of a California retreat in the desired Edgerstoune enclave of Princeton. Lush grounds and a free-form pool effortlessly define the setting. Stone steps connect the covered pool patio to the sun-dappled lower garden patio; a tasteful organic complement to hardscape garden walls and a stone-edged motor court with a classic, breezy carport. Exquisitely nestled into this setting are the sharp lines of a comfortably scaled residence of white-painted brick walls punctuated by crisp windows. The interior keeps up with the times while retaining its integrity. The majority of the rooms are organized on one level. The skylit kitchen has Bosch appliances, loads of solid wood cabinetry and an open view into the dining room as well as windows for keeping an eye on pool activities. A wall of full-height windows, framing the view of the sweeping grounds down to the pond, dominates the great room and creates the magic spell that captivates all the attention. Yet a bold fireplace with rough hewn mantel and a wall of deep bookshelves are also impressive. A separate wing has hardwood floors in 3 bedrooms and an updated, carrera-tiled bath. Ideally separated, the main suite includes a hallway of closets, a spacious bath perfectly situated next to the pool area access. The lower family room has a second fireplace, an abundance of sunlight and has adjoining partially-finished-rooms offering flexibility. A rare find of a mid-century house and garden in a treasured setting.
