Property Description
On a corner lot in the heart of the famous Western Section, a mere half-mile frombustling downtown and Princeton University's world-class campus, astonishingartistry and a fascinating history combine for a home like no other. As refined asit appears from the courtyard entry, it only gets more impressive as you continuethrough the array of rooms discovering storied mantelpieces, carved woodworkand imported fixtures along the way. The deep grounds also never fail to surpriseand delight all who are lucky enough to spend a day relaxing by the Roman-stylepool or dining on the stone terrace. The lawn and formal garden have evenhosted tented celebrations for hundreds with ease. The 1840 house welcomesyou into the foyer, where a mural's softly colored tree branches reach toward anunusually high ceiling. The living room is large enough for a combination ofseating areas or even billiards, as the current set-up shows. Pocket doors allow aview of the library's elaborately detailed woodwork while seated in the classicallystyled dining room. Plenty of sunshine and radiant heat keep the marble-cladfamily room from ever feeling chilly. New quartz countertops freshen up the crispwhite kitchen with a wealth of storage around every turn. A breezeway connectsthe three-car garage and leads to a pool house like no other, where glass andcrystal creations custom-made in Paris by the artisans of Lalique conjure amagical underwater fantasy world. Carved sea creatures whimsically watch overthe gathering space served by a full kitchen, wine cellar and bathrooms worthy ofPoseidon himself! Above, a playroom/gym provides plenty of space for healthyindoor recreation. The upper levels of the main house hold seven bedroomsserved by five baths. The largest and airiest of those bedrooms radiate from thelight-filled landing, along with an office beyond fanlight-topped pocket doors. Themain suite has it all: dressing room, fireplace, marble bath, sunroom and a deckoverlooking a trickling water feature and stunning trees that put on an autumnalshow. This is your chance to leave your mark on one of the Western Section'sfinest showplaces.
