About this home

Named for its close proximity to the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study, the Institute neighborhood is one of the most sought-after enclaves in all of Princeton. Here, on a large and lovely lot, this classic close-to-town beauty bears all the graciousness of its 1930s heritage, with elegantly-proportioned interiors that have stood the test of time. Guest-pleasing details in the living room include crown molding and a decorative fireplace; across the hall, it's easy to envision candlelit dinners in the formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen is more than up-to-task, but an expansive footprint is ready for your dream design. Beyond, the big, light-filled family room opens via French doors to a bluestone patio and pretty backyard - both private with established greenery and trees. Rounding out the 1st floor are a powder room and a cozy den centered on another decorative fireplace. Currently filled with inherited treasures so not pictured, 6 bedrooms are ready to house the generations; 3 full baths include the main suites marble bath, romantic and timeless.
