The original Pennington Academy-turned-residence traces its roots back to 1819, when it was an all-brick schoolhouse sitting proudly on South Main Street with all the conveniences of life in town. This captivating home has been flawlessly expanded by the Princeton Design Guild while still retaining its time capsule allure. Delight in the cedar-fenced backyard with a patio, in the great room addition that opens directly out to it via three French doors, and in the gorgeously constructed kitchen that serves as the heart and soul of this head-turning home. Here you’ll find everything on a gourmet cook’s wish list: custom bamboo cabinets, an over-sized paneled Sub-zero fridge, a Wolf range, a stainless-steel farm sink, and an expansive center island with seating for four. The warmth of wood flooring throughout the interior provides this home with a relaxed feel. In the original part of the old schoolhouse, there’s a roomy living room/home office with a fireplace and a sunny and spacious dining room – both with deep-set windows. A renovated powder room serves all main level rooms. The original staircase reaches the bedrooms above and all have their own bathrooms that are beautifully appointed. The principal bedroom suite, also an addition, features lofty ceilings, a Juliet balcony overlooking the backyard, a huge, sky-lit spa bathroom, and an abundance of closet storage. Second floor laundry room with a sink is handy to all the bedrooms. On the third floor, there’s a partially finished room that could serve so many functions from a yoga retreat to a homework space. Much thought has gone into the design of this home including outside where there’s a totally protected garden for vegetables, lovely lavender plants, an Amish-built hobby shed with electricity, and a detached garage with usable space that could even be converted into an in-law type set-up, if desired. With all new systems in place, hands down, there’s nothing else like this in town. Don’t wait to see it!
