About this home

On one of the quieter Western Section streets, where grand architecture meets leafy sidewalks and town is just steps away, this exceptional turn-of-the-century Center Hall Colonial combines extraordinary proportions and original character with a beautifully executed 2023 renovation. Modifications by architect Max Hayden and decorator-chosen finishes add a sophisticated sensibility throughout, while huge windows, high ceilings, gorgeous wood floors and six fireplaces lend a sense of scale and historic gravitas, from the gracious foyer to the airy third level. Pocket doors separate the formal rooms, including a beautifully wallpapered dining room with space for everyone. A deeply hued study feels wonderfully enveloping, whether the day calls for working from home or watching a movie. The palatial family room is especially enchanting with graceful arched windows, niches and doorways flowing into a sunroom with a built-in fountain. The expansive eat-in kitchen, with corner windows and French doors to the deck, is ready for serious gourmands thanks to a pro-sized Thermador range and wine fridge. Upstairs, a newly created office and custom laundry room join three generous bedroom suites, including two that could easily claim primary status. One features transom-topped double doors, a massive walk-in closet and a bath with a deep soaking tub. The other offers custom mirrored storage outside a dreamy marble bathroom. The third floor adds two more bedrooms, a hang-out space tucked beneath the eaves and another fresh new bath enlivened with ocean-blue tile. And finally, an unexpected bit of history is hidden below the polished main level - a basement speak-easy with its own fireplace and real trap door. Outside, a front garden designed by Ronny Hock has become a profusion of blooms and butterflies, while the private backyard offers a quiet counterpoint. A newly built two-car garage completes the package. Incredible architecture, gracious proportions, thoughtful designer updates and an unmatched in-town location make this a truly special Princeton home.
