Description

This distinguished early 1900s home was once owned by diplomat and historian, George Kennan. It is fitting that Princeton's own master builder, Lewis Barber, steward the complete transformation of a home rich with such history and character. With careful attention to detail, he has successfully maintained classic charm while sensitively introducing modern amenities throughout the comprehensive floor plan. Set on .75 park-like acres on perhaps Princeton's most treasured street, this home is extraordinary....This distinguished early 1900s home was once owned by diplomat and historian, George Kennan. It is fitting that Princeton's own master builder, Lewis Barber, steward the complete transformation of a home rich with such history and character. With careful attention to detail, he has successfully maintained classic charm while sensitively introducing modern amenities throughout the comprehensive floor plan. Set on .75 park-like acres on perhaps Princeton's most treasured street, this home is extraordinary. A four story tower has panoramic views and a two bedroom apartment over the three car garage are indicative of some of the remarkable elements. A striking glass portico welcomes all into well proportioned rooms with exceptional details such as fir flooring, custom cabinetry and stunning tile and stonework. Natural light fills the fully equipped chef's kitchen, living spaces and bedrooms including the stunning master suite with walk-in closets and lavish bath. This home is reborn and ready for the 21st century.
