524 Brickhouse Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

This may be the most tastefully renovated and appointed condo on the Princeton market: high- end appliances, heated tile floors, elegant window treatments, and custom millwork throughout showing meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with its Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and custom Woodmode cabinetry. To one side is a breakfast nook with corner bench seating (and extra storage), and on the other a dining area, surrounded in custom wainscoting and ceiling molding. Two bedrooms are on this level: First, the master bedroom suite with its custom millwork, vaulted ceiling and gable window (with motorized shade) would be at home in a Four Seasons hotel – and in fact won a NJ design award the year after its renovation. An extraordinary, floor-to-ceiling custom mahogany wardrobe leads into the adjoining bathroom, with heated stone tile floor, glass shower enclosure, Bain Ultra whirlpool bathtub, and a custom Palladian window that connects bedroom and bathroom, letting in light every morning and creating a luxurious and relaxing space. You may never want to leave! The second bedroom, with matching millwork, connects with a guest bathroom sporting a heated tile floor, granite vanity and a stunning glass-and-tile shower enclosure. The living room also has a vaulted ceiling and curls around a three-sided wood fireplace, allowing plenty of room for formal and informal entertaining. A custom mahogany staircase leads to a cozy loft overlooking the living area – an inviting family space with room for a sectional sofa and large entertainment center. Adjoining this is a full-service kitchenette, with an 18-inch Miele dishwasher and undercounter Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer unit – all encased in custom Mouser oak cabinetry – and a pocket door leading into a full bathroom. A substantial renovation behind the loft created a bonus room that can be used as an office or third bedroom space – and has a surprise for anyone familiar with the children’s books by C. S. Lewis: Inside the Wardrobe in this Spare Room is the lamppost leading into Narnia, an original painting by an illustrator of children’s books. This is a one-of-a-kind find in Washington Oaks, not to be missed!
