About This Property

Three floors, three distinct ways to live, and a lower level that works as a second home. The walkout in-law suite has its own private entrance: a curved exposed-brick great room, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and leaded-glass doors to the gardens. Room for parents, adult children, or an office wing that never crosses the main house. The main level keeps daily life on one floor: a great room framed by Ionic columns and arched niches, oak floors, and a granite island kitchen with gas cooktop and walk-in pantry, opening to the dining and living rooms and a glass-wrapped conservatory. Primary suite, two more bedrooms and a hall bath. The entire top floor is one vaulted, skylit room beneath WiFi-enabled VELUX solar-powered skylights with motorized shades, over $30,000 invested in natural light, with a half bath and access to the brick turret crown. Studio, office suite, or gym. Linking all three is the signature circular turret and its sculptural open staircase in exposed brick and ornate iron. Outside, a grapevine pergola shades the conservatory doors and a stone waterfall feeds a koi pond set among boulders and iris beds. Privacy walls and mature evergreens screen 0.37 acre of brick-paver paths, gardens and open lawn with room to expand. New roof, gutters, guards and downspouts (2024). High-efficiency air conditioning (2022). Two-car garage, EV charger, no HOA, Princeton Public Schools, walk to downtown and minutes to the train station

There's no other house in Princeton quite like this head-turning, whitewashed brick residence located mere blocks from the heart of town in the prestigious Western Section and just 1.7 miles to the Princeton Train Station. The defining architectural feature is a circular turret that holds a dramatic staircase connecting 3 light-filled levels, each designed to accommodate a separate aspect of a busy household's modern lifestyle. The multi-room ground floor is ideal for in-laws, guests, working from home , casual evenings or possibly as an accessory dwelling unit as a result of the recent amendment to Princeton's zoning ordinance. The main level's large kitchen with polished black granite and huge walk-in pantry makes entertaining in the wide-open living and dining rooms easy. Follow a light-filled hallway to 3 bedrooms and a new bath. Another spacious and airy bedroom studded with skylights and lined with French doors serves as the main suite complete with a new bathroom featuring a multi-jet shower, soaking tub and adjacent walk-in closet. The sun-drenched top floor can be a home office, rec room or studio. The backyard is completely walled so that you may sit under the pergola and enjoy the bubbling koi pond in privacy.

There's no other house in all of Princeton quite like this head-turning, whitewashed brick residence located mere blocks from the heart of town in the prestigious Western Section. The defining architectural feature is a circular turret that holds a dramatic staircase connecting 3 light-filled levels, each designed to accommodate a separate aspect of a busy household's modern lifestyle. The ground floor is ideal for in-laws, guests and casual evenings. The living area has French doors detailed with leaded glass. The big bedroom suite has a private bath, while a separate half bath is just outside a room that's perfect for billiards, play or a home theater. The main level has a more formal air thanks to gleaming hardwood floors, fluted Corinthian columns and art niches that will make any collection feel special. The sizeable kitchen with polished black granite is wide open to the living and dining areas, fostering a communal atmosphere before and after meals. Multiple French doors open to an Eden-like garden, where grapes dangle from a pergola, water splashes into a koi pond and walls block out the rest of world. A study and 2 large bedroom suites, one with an opulent bath, complete the main level. On the top floor, 8 skylights pour sunshine into an office with a third powder room.
