This serene poolside retreat includes a sauna and a pool house with a full bath, a changing room, a kitchenette, and a loft. Palatial, yet homey, the interior’s traditional details glimpse its storied past. Princeton’s prominent Pettit family once lived here, and no expense was spared in its construction. From room to room, rich wood paneling, barrel-vaulted archways, window seats, elaborate moldings and woodwork, and fireplaces adorned with marble hearths echo the Gilded Age when homes were built for entertaining on the grandest scale.

An authentic Princeton farmhouse directly across from Carnegie Lake has been elevated and enlarged to meet every modern need, including working from home and hosting guests in ultimate comfort, all while encouraging a healthy indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Multiple gardens and stone patios surround the crisply painted clapboard exterior lined with French doors and nearly all new wood windows. A variety of native perennials attract pollinators, an organic kitchen garden inspires culinary creativity and a sprawling lawn beyond stacked stone walls is big enough for any sport or perhaps a future pool. The interior masterfully combines character, comfort and timeless style after a full renovation and major additions by architect Cathy Knight, well-known for her finesse with historic homes. Original mantels still decorate the dining room and two sitting rooms, where formal occasions and relaxed gatherings flow outdoors with ease. A wet bar bridges the family room, capped with a lofty ceiling, and the kitchen, designed for use by professional restaurateurs with a suite of Thermador appliances. A vintage cast iron sink and built-in hutch are practical reminders of the home’s beginnings, yet just around the corner, a custom mud entry and attached garage support a modern household’s busy lifestyle. More perks uncommon in a period home include a bright bonus room, already plumbed and big enough for both work and play, and a self-sufficient guest wing with every luxury imaginable. With a gas fireplace beneath a cathedral ceiling, a fully-equipped kitchen, a walk-in closet and laundry, your guests will want for nothing. Four upstairs bedrooms are generous in size, each with direct bath access. The extra-private primary suite has three closets and a rain shower in its period-inspired renovated bathroom. Another jack-and-jill bath is brand new with watery blue tile that calls to mind its lakeside location. With downtown Princeton only a mile away, this special property hidden behind a ring of mature trees has a refined country feel with urban convenience.

An Exceptional Blend of Architectural Elegance, Outdoor Beauty and Historical Worth - Charles Steadman, the prolific architect who transformed both the town and university with his signature Greek Revival style is credited with creating this eye-catching landmark that has been admired for nearly two hundred years. For this house, he began with a modest, existing, 18th century dwelling and created an elegant residence with high ceilings, carved marble fireplaces, grand pocket doors and all the exceptional millwork one would expect from an interior of this caliber. What may come as a surprise is the beautiful condition of these features, including original floors, and the overall livability of the comfortable rooms. Even the basement is as welcoming as it is functional with a fireplace-accented office and a rec space with built-ins and brick floors. Tucked away on the main floor, a tavern-like room clearly marks the oldest section of the home with a cooking fireplace, a beamed ceiling and even a handy half-bath. A little covered patio draped in wisteria opens to the yard, as does the sunny kitchen addition. A breakfast room lined with windows and storage is a casual alternative to the banquet-sized dining room. Outdoor entertaining is another appealing option with a stone terrace overlooking a sweep of lawn studded with majestic trees, the site of more than one happy wedding celebration. The second level of the residence includes four spacious bedrooms with more tall ceilings, plentiful windows and handsome fireplaces. Three of them have adjoining baths. The top floor is a charming hideaway with a fifth bedroom and fourth full bath, along with valuable cedar-lined storage. Of course, the picturesque barn has all the storage you could ever need and potential to be so much more! Come experience the magic of this historic property yourself and learn more about its fascinating past and future potential. This stately property encompasses 0.75 acres of well-manicured, park-like grounds with the option to buy an adjacent buildable lot sprawling 0.72 acres (#682 Princeton Kingston Road), at an additional cost.

Western Section neighbors have watched with eager anticipation as this gracious 1848 Colonial was restored over the course of two years. With a prominent spot along the most admired stretch of Library Place, everyone can appreciate the enhanced exterior, now clad in DURATION poly-ash siding with new roof, windows, and mahogany porches, but few have seen how the interior’s best original features were revived and complemented by countless improvements. Sun-splashed rooms extending from the grand center hall made this project worth the effort and expense. New wide-plank oak floors join tall pocket doors in the living room and family room, both sized to host any occasion, celebratory or intimate. While numerous French doors encourage gatherings to spill outdoors, the dining room goes even further to highlight the pretty setting. It is completely wrapped in glass for unencumbered views of the partially shaded yard and bluestone-edged pool. With a preferred semi-open layout, the kitchen, too, peeks out at the poolscape. Glass-front cabinetry, chef-approved appliances and new quartz countertops are a combination that will serve beautifully for years to come. A custom outfitted laundry room and a powder room with a dash of glam hint at the level of finish for four new bathrooms upstairs. Follow the cupola-lit three story staircase to a selection of nine rooms, some of them full suites with walk-in closets, which allow the private upper levels to function as you see fit. A corner room with a fireplace makes an ideal office or sitting room beside the main suite, which boasts a slipper tub, rain shower and detailed tilework within its marble bath. A bonus room on the newly air conditioned top floor may be the site of fun-filled sleepovers now, then down the road, a quiet artist’s studio. As it has done for the past 175 years, this house will continue to evolve gracefully.

The award-winning restoration of Westland, once the beloved home of President Grover Cleveland, brought plaster-detailed ceilings, carved mantels and oversized windows back to a level of magnificence that would undoubtedly please the Jersey-born Commander in Chief. Yet this gloriously bright home is far from suspended in time. The modern sensibilities of the current owners prove that fresh, fun and functional can successfully go hand-in-hand with stately ornamentation. The 1.57-acre grounds also support a leisurely lifestyle with a renovated pool, covered porch and 3-car garage to one side. While a profusion of hydrangea blooms bring lively color to the whole property, the formal garden extending from a broad bluestone patio is an especially captivating spot for summertime soirees. Inside, ceilings rise well over 12-feet, but feel even loftier above clean white walls washed in sunlight. Most rooms are large and versatile, yet there are spots to steal away for conversation or a cocktail. Some may choose to use the library off the family room as a bar or create a breakfast nook in the sunroom lined with gracefully arched windows. While the kitchen feels simply timeless with brilliant white cabinetry and natural marble, a custom steel hood over an enormous Viking range shows it can stand up to the demands of a serious chef. A nearby mud entry with cubbies and a half-bath keeps wet feet and backpacks in check. Accessible by two staircases, the second level is enchanting in its own right with five bedrooms boasting features like built-ins and fireplaces. The primary suite also offers walk-in closets, one fit for a queen with a stunning chandelier. Work, play, exercise and host extra holiday guests on the airy top floor, complete with its own bathroom, a walk-in cedar closet and some of the prettiest windows in the whole house. There are so many reasons to fall head over heels for history-rich Westland, but perhaps the best part is its amazing proximity to Princeton destinations. The library, Palmer Square, The Arts Council, the YMCA and, of course, campus are a pleasant stroll from the gracious front porch.

A world-class library, exciting art exhibits, award-winning cuisine and more are just beyond the front door of this incredible Residences at Palmer Square offering, presented for the first time ever! Unlike any other unit, this single-level home has a completely private stone terrace edged with planters and flowering trees. Garden, grill and entertain al fresco whenever you please! Through French doors, past the family room, Viking appliances gleam in the open kitchen with tiered island seating. Curved walls, a gas fireplace and transom-topped windows reaching up to 10-foot ceilings add architectural interest to the formal spaces, which can easily host everyone on your guest list. Across the spacious foyer, flexibility abounds in an office/guest suite. Two more suites, including the primary with double walk-in closets and a pretty cream bath, are slightly tucked away for a bit of extra privacy. From the rich hardwood floors to the gallery-like white walls to the deep crown molding, every inch of this sophisticated, in-town home is spotless. While you may find it unnecessary in this central location, reserved parking in the on-site garage is available. Some of the images include virtual stating.
