944 Stuart Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

A sprawling first floor styled in a mid-century modern design, meets a rear two-story addition offering a back-to-nature location where outdoor and indoor space embrace each other. Custom built into two sections creating a poetic link: a parallel front and a perpendicular back, forming the foundation of a central courtyard off the house for easy outdoor dining. A private circular drive leads to the main entrance door which opens to a wide central hall offering multiple openings and windows with views that change during the day as you flow from room to room. The first floor living room is set off from the hub off the home with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, built-in bookcases and sliding glass doors with a distant view of the pool. A primary suite is located at the far end of the hall with sliding doors and large windows for perfect backyard views, a renovated primary bath with cobalt blue glass sinks and a mixture of glass and tumbled marble wall and floor tiles create a spa-like atmosphere with soaking tub and separate shower. A first floor study with built-in bookcases accesses a renovated second full bath (this could be a second bedroom should one decide). At the other end of the home is where the action is: a sun-room off the two-car garage has sliding glass doors on both sides and opens into the foyer area where rows of closets hold many coats, hats boots and sports paraphernalia! A dining area can be either formal or informal with a sliding glass door accessing the courtyard, adjacent to this room is the open concept kitchen and family room with multiple sliding glass doors accessing the patio and walls of glass overlooking the grounds, a second fireplace and custom built-ins compliment this room along with a spiral staircase to the upper level. The kitchen was renovated by Lasley Brahaney Architecture Construction Company and consists of custom maple cabinets and drawers, granite counters, a center island with a breakfast bar and high-end Gaggenau appliances along with a Sub-Zero, (they also designed and installed the courtyard patio) a walk-in laundry room/pantry is just off the kitchen as is a renovated third full bathroom that completes this level. Five bedrooms occupy the second floor all with spectacular views; two renovated full bathrooms service all five bedrooms. The lower level is finished into one big game space with a wide staircase to this level just off the kitchen. An in-ground Sylvan pool is set in the distance, boulders and rock stud the property and from certain angles pose as land art. Truly a unique property made to be one with nature. Situated in the bucolic ridge area of Princeton, close by is Stuart Country Day School, Princeton Day School and a five minute drive to Princeton University and the town where shops, restaurants, theater, library and more await your enjoyment.
