Description

A gated courtyard garden beneath a row of dormer windows is a storybook beginning to a Princeton home with a happy surprise ending; a sparkling pool in the private backyard. The Western Section address is particularly prestigious and conveniently close to town. The house itself has many flexible rooms ready to serve life's changing needs. A den becomes an extra bedroom when holiday guests arrive, and master-worthy suites on both the upper and main levels make for comfortable living at any age. Hardwood...A gated courtyard garden beneath a row of dormer windows is a storybook beginning to a Princeton home with a happy surprise ending; a sparkling pool in the private backyard. The Western Section address is particularly prestigious and conveniently close to town. The house itself has many flexible rooms ready to serve life's changing needs. A den becomes an extra bedroom when holiday guests arrive, and master-worthy suites on both the upper and main levels make for comfortable living at any age. Hardwood floors begin in the two-story foyer and lead the way to an arched passage elegantly introducing the living room. Sliders open to a deck here and in the dining room, which is sized for large-scale entertaining. The sky-lit breakfast room opens to a second deck and an herb garden. The kitchen's dark granite, neutral tiling and crown-topped wood cabinetry blend with most any decorating style. Nearby are two bedroom suites and the den. A fireplace, one of two, warms the family room, which connects to the third and largest main level suite. Even more luxuriously sized, the upper suite offers a sitting room, a dressing alcove and a Juliet balcony overlooking the pool. The adjacent room is equally suitable for working, exercising or even a nursery. House is assessed as a six bedroom.
