This architecturally distinct home stands on a perfectly sized lot right in the sweet spot of Princeton, literally a stone’s throw from the renowned high school, a half-mile from Palmer Square and under a mile from the bustling shopping center. Craftsman details, a sheltered front porch and a slate-look roof set a welcoming tone, while arched windows hint at unexpected elements to come. The current architect-owner took a modest split-level, expertly built by his father, and dramatically expanded and renovated it top-to-bottom. This was truly a labor of love and it shows in every one-of-a-kind detail, first the breakfast area’s wraparound banquette to the powder room’s live-edge vanity. A choice of gathering spaces include the open living/dining room and the large family room, both with gas fireplaces. A built-in study nook is great for supervising homework, while a separate media/rec room keeps games and toys out of the way. The kitchen is sure to inspire culinary adventures with double ovens, double sinks and custom cherry cabinetry that stands the test of time. The private levels begin with two bedrooms sharing a newly updated hall bath, a suite with its own tiled bath and a laundry/craft room. As you continue up, the spaces grow larger and airier with increased flexibility and architectural features. Use the barrel vaulted front room as a fifth bedroom or as an extension of the incredible primary suite with custom frosted glass doors sliding open to dressing rooms and the bathroom with an oversized dual head shower and separate tub. Follow the skylights to a lofty office that’s easily big enough for two. At quitting time, savor the peace and privacy of the fenced backyard from a TimberTech deck. This really is the whole package in a prime Princeton location!
