In Princeton's Western Section, set among some of the area’s most elegant addresses, this custom-built home makes a striking impression from the moment its gated drive comes into view. Set on nearly an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds, this home oozes with modern luxury. Grand in scale yet remarkably inviting, it offers five bedrooms, six full baths, and a powder room, including a versatile main-level suite that can easily function as guest quarters or a private home office suite. A three-car garage and beautifully finished lower level further enhance the home's exceptional functionality. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings above create an immediate sense of openness. Every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and quality, from the rich architectural millwork and coffered ceilings to the carefully curated finishes and RH lighting found throughout the home. The chef's kitchen is both stunning and highly functional, featuring premium appliances, including an Ilve range and matching hood, along with an oversized center island and casual dining space. Nearby, the formal dining room is distinguished by a dramatic glass-enclosed wine display that serves as both art and centerpiece. The two-story great room is a showstopper, flooded with natural light and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked limestone fireplace. Front and rear staircases provide graceful access to the second level, where four spacious bedrooms include an extraordinary primary suite. Designed to be a private sanctuary, it features a tray ceiling and a separate sitting room with a dual-sided fireplace that adds ambiance to both spaces. The luxurious bath rivals a five-star spa, complete with a vessel soaking tub, multi-jet shower, and customized walk-in closet storage. The lower level expands the home's lifestyle offerings with a fitness room, media lounge, hobby and recreation spaces, and a private au pair suite with a full bath. Laundry spaces on both the first and second floors adds to this home’s overall modern functionality. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A spacious deck overlooks the resort-inspired backyard, where a sparkling swimming pool with an automatic cover creates a private setting for summer. Surrounded by expansive lawn, the grounds offer both beauty and privacy rarely found so close to downtown. Combining custom construction, refined design, and one of Princeton's most sought-after locations, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living less than a five-minute drive to Nassau Street.
