About this home

Designed by renowned architect A. Page Brown and built between 1887 and 1888, this home is considered one of the finest and purest shingle style homes in Central New Jersey. Steeped in local history, the home was commissioned by William Barryman Scott, noted paleontologist and descendant of Benjamin Franklin. The current owners received a commendation from the Princeton Historical Society for the work they did in re-shingling the entire house and rebuilding the chimneys. The first floor includes a formal dining room, nice sized kitchen, gracious living room and a cozy study. A beautiful, pillared, 26'x10' porch off the living room is perfect for summer entertaining. The second floor has two bedrooms, one with a private balcony, and a newly renovated bathroom. The third floor also has two bedrooms and a bath, as well as an unfinished attic space with exposed brick, perfect for a home office. This home is truly one of a kind!
