Set on a quiet street in Princeton’s coveted Western Section, this Mid-Century Modern home begins with a courtyard where a fountain sets the tone before you even reach the front door. Inside, rooms connect in a sequence that encourages movement and conversation, with sightlines stretching across all the living spaces. A newly updated quartz island anchors the kitchen, while a gas fireplace provides a warm glow for both the living room and open dining room.The family room’s sweeping windows overlook meticulously landscaped grounds and generous patios. Dine al fresco beneath the pergola, surrounded by nature’s tranquility. Flexibility is built into nearly every corner of this home’s floor plan. There are four bedrooms, while two additional spaces allow the house to shift with changing needs. One functions as a first-floor office and another occupies its own suite-like setting upstairs, complete with a separate entrance that creates a sense of independence ideal for guests, extended stays, or a dedicated professional workspace. Near the kitchen, an additional bedroom and bath are perfectly suited for live-in help.The primary suite stretches beyond the expected. In addition to a large bedroom, expansive walk-in closet, and en suite bath with a jetted tub and separate shower, the suite includes a private gym wrapped in windows. With heating and air conditioning already in place, it could just as easily become a year-round sunroom, sitting area, office, meditation space, or yoga studio. Original Mid-Century principles remain intact through the home’s flowing layout, providing connection to natural light and greenery through large windows, and an emphasis on adaptable living. A two-car garage, a garden shed, and a new roof keep life organized and provide peace of mind. Princeton’s beloved Western section is prized for its tree-lined streets, stately prestigious and historic homes, proximity to downtown, Palmer Square, and campus, and its classic, deeply established neighborhood feel.
