Three floors, three distinct ways to live, and a lower level that works as a second home. The walkout in-law suite has its own private entrance: a curved exposed-brick great room, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and leaded-glass doors to the gardens. Room for parents, adult children, or an office wing that never crosses the main house. The main level keeps daily life on one floor: a great room framed by Ionic columns and arched niches, oak floors, and a granite island kitchen with gas cooktop and walk-in pantry, opening to the dining and living rooms and a glass-wrapped conservatory. Primary suite, two more bedrooms and a hall bath. The entire top floor is one vaulted, skylit room beneath WiFi-enabled VELUX solar-powered skylights with motorized shades, over $30,000 invested in natural light, with a half bath and access to the brick turret crown. Studio, office suite, or gym. Linking all three is the signature circular turret and its sculptural open staircase in exposed brick and ornate iron. Outside, a grapevine pergola shades the conservatory doors and a stone waterfall feeds a koi pond set among boulders and iris beds. Privacy walls and mature evergreens screen 0.37 acre of brick-paver paths, gardens and open lawn with room to expand. New roof, gutters, guards and downspouts (2024). High-efficiency air conditioning (2022). Two-car garage, EV charger, no HOA, Princeton Public Schools, walk to downtown and minutes to the train station
