Property Description
This completely renovated and restored Princeton Western Section in-town gem seamlessly blends the best of its original turn-of-the-century details with all of the amenities necessary for today's modern lifestyle. Built in 1890 and moved to its current location during the roaring 20s, it is one-of-a-kind. The gracious foyer opens to both the living and dining rooms with their high ceilings, refinished fir floors, custom moldings, recessed lighting and new windows, allowing abundant light to flow through these elegant rooms. United by back-to-back fireplaces, the living room and the sunroom open to the outdoors and also into the cozy library with its built-in bookcases. Beyond the powder room lies a spacious family room, complete with custom moldings, picture windows and built-in window seat - the perfect room for TV, movies or games with family and friends. The well-appointed eat-in kitchen nearby is just the spot for a quiet breakfast or party preparations, and is equipped with modern light cherry and glass cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, as well as a gourmet cook's stainless appliances. The lovely skylit staircase leads up to 5 large bedrooms, including the luxurious master suite with; two walk-in closets, two separate offices, a romantic balcony deck for private morning coffee and the large gorgeous master bath with; radiant heated floors, soaking tub and private shower. The views from every room in this house, and from both romantic balconies, are simply enchanting. A lovely Southern covered mahogany veranda, heated in-ground pool, stone patios and the newer high-end heated and cooled guest house/pool house, (with its own full bath), are all nestled within a fully fenced yard of mature flowering trees, green lawns and perennial gardens. Six zones of heat,(including whole house, radiant floors and guest house heat), and 3 zones of central A/C, (2 in house and 1 in guest house), keep every room at the perfect temperature year-round. A two-car heated garage, large newer mudroom, first-floor laundry room, full basement with cooled wine storage, a whole house generator and hidden energy-efficient solar panels, (which provide 50% of the home's electricity), add to the list of numerous modern features. You need only unpack, as everything else has already been done. Only a stone's throw to the Lilac Lane walking path into town for dinner out, shopping or hopping the train to NY or Philadelphia. Just the right size and in the perfect location!
