Description

Designed to offer an elegant yet rustic retreat nestled in lush woodlands, this Arts and Crafts home brings to mind the grand estates of Nantucket, right down to summer, when wild roses and birds fill the air with scent and song. The home has the feeling of privacy but at the end of the driveway is the wonderful Littlebrook neighborhood. When you enter through the stately front door, skylights, clerestories and ribbons of four-over-four windows flood the home with natural light. Rooms with 9-foot...Designed to offer an elegant yet rustic retreat nestled in lush woodlands, this Arts and Crafts home brings to mind the grand estates of Nantucket, right down to summer, when wild roses and birds fill the air with scent and song. The home has the feeling of privacy but at the end of the driveway is the wonderful Littlebrook neighborhood. When you enter through the stately front door, skylights, clerestories and ribbons of four-over-four windows flood the home with natural light. Rooms with 9-foot ceilings flow effortlessly, from the deep and tall foyer to the parlor, dining room and cook's kitchen with top line appliances, to the great room with river rock fireplace and den with wall of bookcases. French doors open from three rooms to the elevated bluestone patio and screened porch with vaulted teak ceiling. Pulling into the oversize three car garage you can unload into a deep hall with laundry room and wall lined with huge closets. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including luxurious master suite with sitting area. A fifth bedroom with bath in the partially finished basement has its own private access and patio. Located moments from Smoyer Park and Herrontown Woods, and a very short drive to downtown Princeton and commuter routes, this is a home built for entertaining and unwinding.
