    What's special

    Discover the perfect blend of timeless sophistication and modern luxury in this exceptional, fully renovated residence offering over 4,700 square feet of pristine living space. Nestled on nearly an acre in the highly sought-after Littlebrook section of Princeton, this home has been meticulously transformed into a serene and stylish retreat—completely move-in ready and designed for effortless living. From the moment you step inside, the grand vaulted foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and an immediate sense of elegance. The expansive floor plan flows gracefully into a formal living room with another vaulted ceiling and a elegant fireplace. The dining room with a double sided fireplace as a focal point is thoughtfully designed for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a chef-inspired gourmet kitchen, showcasing a generous center island, top-of-the-line appliances, and an adjoining casual dining area. Just beyond, the open-concept family room invites relaxation while enjoying the double sided fireplace. Open to the family room is the beautiful sun room offering unobstructed views of the backyard sanctuary. The main level also includes two spacious bedrooms, each with a full bath attached, as well as a powder room, making it ideal for guests, in-laws, or flexible living arrangements. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom along with a spectacular primary suite featuring a spa-like bathroom and an expansive walk-in closet. The finished walk-out basement offers multiple zones for entertainment and daily living, including a media/TV room, home gym, playroom, and an additional full bathroom. Ample storage and direct access to the backyard add to the convenience and functionality. Gleaming hardwood floors thorough out the home. Step outside to a professionally landscaped backyard oasis, where nearly 100 new plantings create a lush and private escape. A sweeping stone patio with a beautiful pergola provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer evenings, while the heated in-ground pool and spa—installed just a few years ago—add resort-style appeal. The expansive lot is fully fenced, offering both privacy and room to roam. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with an EV charger, a newly added mudroom, new AC and furnaces and a full house generator. Please see complete list with over $600,000 in recent upgrades. Located minutes from Princeton’s vibrant downtown, top-rated schools, and cultural amenities, this is truly one of Princeton’s finest offerings.
