The converted carriage house of an Edgerstoune estate is equal parts refined and romantic with clipped boxwoods and old-growth specimen trees looking especially verdant against whitewashed brick and a profusion of rose blooms adding color around a newly refurbished pool. And it only grows more enchanting as you step inside! Custom window treatments, artful lighting and designer wallpaper softly complement gorgeous hardwood flooring, carved fireplace mantels and French doors. The great room serves modern entertaining needs in style with plenty of space for holiday meals and gathering. The nearby family room is light, bright and inviting with access to the broad bluestone terrace, while a separate den lined with built-ins is ideal for getting cozy with your favorite show. A half bath helps this quiet room serve as first floor accommodations, if needed, and can even convert to a full bath with ease. There’s still a formal powder room tucked beyond a storage-rich hallway off the foyer. The kitchen combines the classic looks of glass-front cabinetry, subway tile and carrera marble with modern stainless appliances, including a beverage fridge. There are more storage nooks and alcoves for a bar and snacks in the breakfast room. All four upstairs bathrooms, three of which are en suite, feature special touches, like colorful tile or marble countertops. Along with stunning views of the cutting garden and pool, the primary suite also boasts a dressing room, a second customized walk-in and a perfectly placed office. Basement storage and plentiful parking round out this one-of-a-kind property in a cherished location steps from The Hun School. Just 1.6 miles from Nassau Street, with Princeton University and the train just beyond.
