Description

Realizing the perfect equilibrium of impressive and inviting can be elusive, but this Princeton residence has achieved it. Claiming a coveted spot at the end of a private cul de sac, the handsome house in like-new condition is entirely built of brick and capped with a slate roof. An arched front door of remarkable stature hints at the scale of the interior spaces to come, but the lofty ceilings, wide corridors and substantial millwork still manage to exceed expectations. Every detail was carefully...Realizing the perfect equilibrium of impressive and inviting can be elusive, but this Princeton residence has achieved it. Claiming a coveted spot at the end of a private cul de sac, the handsome house in like-new condition is entirely built of brick and capped with a slate roof. An arched front door of remarkable stature hints at the scale of the interior spaces to come, but the lofty ceilings, wide corridors and substantial millwork still manage to exceed expectations. Every detail was carefully considered, from the stunning light fixtures to the discreet Nest safety features. The chef's kitchen outfitted with to-the-ceiling cabinetry flows into the Great Room, where a massive fireplace is centered around abundant windows and French doors framing the stone patio serenaded by a fountain. Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms has its own spotless, en suite bathroom. The master's is extra roomy and clad in creamy marble tile. The lower level is ready to maximize your priceless downtime with a home theater, wine cellar, gym, sauna and game room.
