A long tree-lined drive leads to an exceptionally tranquil 14.79 acre revolutionary-era homestead mere miles from the center of Princeton. At once the residence of railroad mogul Wade Nelson (of Nelson Ridge Road fame), the same family has cared for this glorious estate since 1952. Grounds include treed and open land, a (skate-able) spring fed pond, 7-bay garage, corn crib, barn with party room, guest cottage and the main house. Loaded with charm and plenty of space with 5 bedrooms, 3 ~~ bathrooms, random width floors, an old-fashioned sleeping porch that extends off 2 bedrooms, big stone fireplaces in both the family and living rooms are just some of the features that make this home utterly irresistible. Although some updates are in order, the vintage kitchen is large and functional with newer stainless appliances. Most rooms lead to beautiful outdoor spaces ensuring views throughout.
