Secluded on a gorgeously landscaped acre minutes from downtown Princeton, this expansive retreat exudes the rustic warmth of a modern mountain lodge. Multiple balconies and terraces, as well as a separate screened porch, encourage you to take full advantage of the extraordinarily private setting. Transom-topped French doors and windows splash natural light across mahogany floors throughout the home. The grand foyer, with soaring 20-foot ceiling and curved staircase, makes a jaw-dropping first impression and the open living room ahead continues the theme of airy elegance. The kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances from Wolf, Viking, and Sub-Zero, has a clear view of the family room fireplace surrounded by stacked stone and weathered wood walls. With a breakfast area and wraparound bar seating, a walk-in pantry and a butler’s pantry leading to the dining room, there’s no shortage of space for storing essentials and serving meals. Past a bookcase-lined library lies the main level primary suite, complete with custom dressing rooms, another gas fireplace and a luxuriously sized marble bathroom with a tub wrapped in windows. Multiple French doors open to dedicated outdoor space, an amenity all four upper bedroom suites also enjoy. In addition to a sunny bonus room atop the back stairs, the walk-out basement has loads of space for recreation and fitness with a full bath already in place. This well-maintained home fulfills every wish for space and privacy in close proximity to Battlefield Park, the Institute Woods and the beauty of Princeton University campus.
