Set gracefully back from the street, it enjoys an uncommon sense of privacy and tranquility, while remaining just moments from Nassau Street, Princeton University, renowned schools, restaurants, and cultural attractions. A brick pathway framed by manicured hedges and specimen trees leads to the elegant front entrance, setting the stage for the timeless beauty found throughout the home. Inside, a gracious foyer welcomes guests with rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and architectural details that speak to the home's enduring craftsmanship. Transom windows, sidelights, and arched accents enhance the interiors, while decorative fireplaces in both the living room and primary bedroom serve as charming focal points. Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable daily living, the main level offers an exceptional arrangement of generously proportioned rooms. The sunlit living room and adjoining sunroom provide inviting spaces for conversation, reading, or quiet relaxation. Across the foyer, a formal dining room easily accommodates large gatherings, while the expansive family room is lined with windows that fill the space with natural light throughout the day. The eat-in kitchen features a center island with a Wolf cooktop and built-in Viking downdraft, storage galore, recessed lighting, abundant wood cabinetry, and ample workspaces for cooking. Doors from both the kitchen and family room open directly to the terrace and gardens. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a decorative fireplace and access to a full bath. Three more bedrooms are equally generous in size and share a well-appointed hall bath. The third floor has additional finished rooms offering tremendous flexibility for a variety of needs. The expansive rear grounds provide an outdoor setting rarely found this close to downtown. A broad lawn stretches behind the home, offering ample space for sports, while mature trees and established plantings create a picturesque, park-like backdrop. The brick terrace serves as a natural extension of the interior living spaces. A detached two-car garage completes the property.
