Property Description
An elegant white 19th century Federal Style Home just 5 miles from Princeton stands on four acres with sweeping views of bountiful gardens, a picturesque pond and park-like lawns. Just passing by, it is clear that the current owners have been excellent stewards of this historic property, a beloved fixture along one of the prettiest roads in the area. Even though the house was built with large rooms and high ceilings across all three floors, carefully considered expansions by acclaimed local architect Max Hayden have added still more space for entertaining, as well as the possibility of single-level living. French doors flanking the living room fireplace open to a glorious sunroom with a stone floor and a commanding stone fireplace. A corner wet bar is perfectly placed to keep refreshments handy for dinners out on the patio. Off the celebration-sized dining room, the second addition serves as an office or a stunning guest suite with French doors beneath a beamed ceiling. The eat-in kitchen has modern functionality with pro-level appliances and an open sightline into the family room, yet custom cherry cabinetry feels period-appropriate and a walk-in fireplace stands as a reminder of meals simmering all day over a constant flame. Even pass-through areas are roomy and useful, like the back hall, with a powder room and loads of built-in storage, that leads to the quietly situated library with incredible views of the grounds. The best vantage point, however, is a big sun deck off the largest of five second floor bedrooms. All have great closet space, especially the primary suite with a walk-in outside the cheerfully tiled bath. With a full kitchen and a clean white bathroom, the multi-room third floor serves equally well as an au pair apartment or a spot for all-day play and all-night sleepovers. This entire property has successfully and gracefully evolved with changing times, thankfully, without losing any of its authenticity and charm. Even the cupola capped garage beautifully supports the needs of a modern lifestyle with three bays, a workshop and solar panels. Square footage per Montgomery Twp tax assessor.
