This gracious home and its antique barn stand on just the right amount of land for an out-in-the-country feel, yet they’re a quick 3 miles from downtown Princeton. The 4+/- acre corner lot is also a few strides from Carson Woods, meaning outdoor adventure awaits just beyond the wisteria-draped front porch. A covered side entrance is convenient to the cheerful eat-in kitchen, which is ready for big leisurely breakfasts with a farm sink and a DCS 6-burner range. The ambiance grows more refined as you pass through the dining room toward the center hall, where a mahogany staircase and designer finishes make a grand statement. A library lined with lit bookcases, the living room with paneled doubled doors and opalescent wallpaper, and the family room with a hidden marble-topped bar all have high ceilings and fireplaces. French doors open to a semi-circular 3-season porch and a nearby bluestone patio mirrors the pretty shape. The configuration of the upper levels serves an evolving household perfectly with up to six bedrooms, including a guest apartment atop the back stairs with an efficient clean white kitchen and laundry access. Custom closets, high-end carpeting and stunning light fixtures are some of the thoughtful touches found in comfortable bedrooms served by a handsomely renovated hall bath. The bright corner main suite has a private deck overlooking the sprawling yard and the added convenience of a second washer/dryer. Don’t miss the finished third floor with yet another full bath! It’s clear no expense was spared on the stylish updates throughout the interior and the same holds true outside, as evidenced by HardiPlank siding, a newly renovated 2-bay garage and an enclosed vegetable garden. This storied home has an intriguing background, having been partially moved from an iconic Princeton neighborhood, but its timeless beauty and overall warmth has thankfully never changed.
