This positively enchanting stone home has been lightened, brightened and beautifully modernized! Thankfully, 1920’s features, like solid wood doors, brick floors and metal casement windows, were preserved and enhanced during the careful renovation. Peaked ceilings with exposed beams now feel even loftier and the living room’s grand stone fireplace commands attention against clean white walls. Antique doors were specially sourced for a much-needed coat closet added to the foyer, further evidence of thoughtful attention to detail. Serving today’s lifestyle, the breakfast room is now open to the stunning new kitchen with quartz countertops, sleek appliances and a wet bar alcove. An adjoining sunroom revels in the woodsy setting with big windows framing natural boulders and verdant foliage, as well as doors opening to a new stone patio that invites relaxation amidst rustling leaves and birdsong. Continuing the home’s signature peaked ceilings, a flexible dining room also spills out to the patio. A pebble-tiled hall bath serves three first floor bedrooms, while the upper level is reserved solely for the primary suite. A soaking tub in the totally luxe primary bath basks in woodsy views and a stacked washer/dryer is hidden beside a walk-in closet. The tiled basement has a second laundry area, as well as a wine room. With a state of the art new septic system and a fully renovated apartment above the garage, complete with a marble bath and quartz and stainless steel kitchen, you can invite guests to escape the hustle and bustle for as long as they’d like! This nestled-in-the-woods hideaway offers seclusion on 5.62 acres without sacrificing convenience, as Princeton's renowned schools and busy downtown are all surprisingly less than 3 miles away.

The ultimate hideaway in the woods is closer to civilization than you imagine! While totally private at the end of a long driveway, this storybook stone lodge is within the confines of Princeton, not far at all from top-ranked schools and world-class entertainment. Moss-covered boulders are scattered among ferns and pines on 5.62 acres, the perfect size to feel totally immersed in the peace and quiet of nature. Understood to be based on the widely published designs by noted architect Ernst Flagg, it is a superb example of the attention to materials and craftsmanship. Cottage-like from the outside, but far bigger than expected, every inch of the home is enchanting with casement windows and outdoor access from nearly every room. The foyer strikes a warm, rugged tone with brick flooring and a fireplace capped with a metal hood. The library, sunroom and dining room are all memorable with peaked, beamed ceilings, but the living room is the most alluring of all the gathering spaces thanks to a big stone fireplace. Even the kitchen with its spruce-green cabinetry and bar alcove feels just right in this woodsy atmosphere. Three bedrooms on the first floor share a full bath, while two more share a bathroom above. It’s easy to envision the second floor dedicated entirely to a primary suite with all the creature comforts and closet space you desire. Another area ripe with possibility is the guest apartment above the detached garage, which lets you share the tranquility of this timeless property with anyone who might appreciate an escape from the real world. Showings begin on Wednesday 8/9/23.
