Situated on a large, tranquil, lightly forested lot with plenty of dappled sunlight, a striking contemporary style residence takes good advantage of its setting. Multiple decks, patios, and in-ground pool surrounded by handsome landscaping -- are the first clues that the focus when creating this Princeton retreat -- was to encourage a relaxed lifestyle in a marvelous, natural environment. Soaring ceilings, open staircase, large windows and skylights provide abundant natural light to reach all parts of the interior and to offer great views of the property. Clearly built with the intention of entertaining, the spacious hall, living room and banquet scaled dining room and easy flow of the floor plan -- not to mention the wet bar -- make hosting large events a breeze. Less formal enjoyment of this property surely takes place in the updated kitchen which is open to the large family room with fireplace. A true luxury is the master bedroom suite which is served by two full bathrooms. All together, the main section of the house has three more bedrooms, two bathrooms and a loft. In addition there is a two bedroom, two full bath apartment that can be accessed from the kitchen or via a private entrance. It includes a kitchen, dining area, living room and its own balcony. Delightful in any season, this is a must see property ready to start a new chapter. Great for multi-generational living.
