Here you will find an opportunity of a lifetime to owning this Princeton Estate! This unique, architect designed haven is so deceiving from the front yard; it needs to be seen to be truly appreciated . Lending itself to so many lifestyle possibilities; a daily oasis, a weekend retreat from the city or multi generational living, this home will work for you. This special residence conceals from passersby a storybook back yard; placid pond with dock, waterfall, footbridge leading over a babbling brook, vista of tall trees, and all manner of wildlife calling the woodland home. Casual entertaining will be centered around the in ground pool and outdoor cooking area with bar. Sturdy arbors draped with wisteria provide a secluded, shaded outdoor sanctuary. Inside this well-appointed home, reclaimed barn wood from upstate New York finds new life as ceiling beams. Quartz counter tops provide ample workspace in the sunny kitchen with breakfast nook overlooking the natural splendors of the grounds. An impressive dining room, with fireplace, offers all season views. The master bedroom, with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, spa bath, and private balcony overlooking the gorgeous seasonally changing landscape is a luxurious retreat. An accessory dwelling unit, with kitchen overlooking the meandering stream, bathroom and living room over the garage will accommodate an array of needs. All of this with the added benefit of an education within the halls of the Princeton Regional School District! There is such tremendous value in these private spaces just minutes from downtown Princeton. Best value in Princeton! Buyers will reap the benefits of motivated sellers.
