Property Description
If you're after something with genuine soul rather than another cookie-cutter McMansion, this Princeton home is truly one of a kind. A striking whitewashed brick residence in the coveted Western Section, walkable to downtown and minutes from the train, where the architecture has real personality. The signature circular turret holds a sculptural staircase linking three distinct floors, each tuned to a different rhythm of daily life. The main floor centers on a granite kitchen and walk-in pantry that open to airy living and dining areas and a sun-drenched conservatory, alongside the primary suite, two guest bedrooms, and a hallway bath. Above, the top level unfolds as one expansive, light-filled room with a convenient half bath. Crowning both the conservatory and top floor is an impressive collection of high-end, WiFi-enabled VELUX solar-powered skylights with motorized shades, over $30,000 invested in natural light. The ground level adds an in-law suite with a private entrance and kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended family, or a home office. Recent upgrades bring peace of mind: new roof with new gutters, gutter guards, and downspouts (all 2024), and a high-efficiency air conditioning system (2022) on the main floor. Set on a generous 0.37-acre lot, the privacy-walled rear grounds invite expansion beside an existing pergola and tranquil koi pond, completing a home with character that's hard to find in this market.
