550 Pretty Brook Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
About this home
Ideally located on 11 natural acres along Princeton's Pretty Brook Road, a trio of cedar shake roofed structures call to mind the picturesque simplicity of a Northern European country hamlet. A courtyard highlights dormer windows running the length of the central main house, which is impeccably kept. Rough-hewn wood and a walk-in fireplace lend a comfortable rusticity to the impressive two-story living room. With a pumpkin pine floor and salvaged brickwork, the nearby kitchen has a complementary tavern atmosphere, while finely detailed millwork and built-ins make the dining room, as well as the library, decidedly more formal. A chandelier hangs from a domed ceiling in the luxurious sitting room of the privately situated master suite. Pediments and leaded glass transoms cap tall doorways opening to a kitchenette, spa bath, bedroom and corridor of arched display cases. Two baths serve three more upper level bedrooms. Two apartments above separate garages flanking the house are equally pristine.
