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.

Many a visitor has wondered how long this grand home has presided over its Eden-like grounds. A century or more is a likely guess, as the classic design feels akin to the romantic estates dotting the European countryside and the impeccable craftsmanship is far more exacting than what is typically seen today. The design is actually a 21st-century Robert Bennett original that was dreamt up to capture that far-away peaceful feeling and old-world elegance. The majority of the 12+ acres are delightfully natural with mown pathways cutting through the trees, wildflower meadows and orchards. Even so, an air of refinement is immediately apparent and, upon entry to the foyer, it is only heightened. An incredible floating staircase winds up toward a sky-blue dome embellished with plaster florets, while a fireplace anchors the dizzyingly beautiful space. The formal rooms to come are large and light-filled due to floor-to-ceiling windows. Pocket screens keep views perfectly clear, but allow for an immersive country experience on fair days. The patterns of moldings and floors vary from room to room, yet spaces feel united by their degree of detail and elegance. This provides a particularly striking contrast in the kitchen, where brushed stainless steel cabinetry and commercial-grade appliances join an oversized island beneath ultra-sleek lighting. French doors in the breakfast bay open to a crushed stone courtyard garden. Peer over the wall for a glimpse of the turquoise-blue lap pool edged with rectangular lawns ideal for outdoor recreation. There are also several options for leisurely indoor activities: a billiard room with wet bar, a media room and a lower level party room with adjoining loggia and a full bath. A second level library is a haven of sophistication enveloped by paneled walls, a fireplace and a mirrored bar - the perfect venue for an after-dinner drink and lively repartee. The home has 5 bedroom suites, each with custom-finished storage and private baths that defy trends for a forever fresh feel. The main suite enjoys the privacy of its own wing with a balcony overlooking the pool. An office on the third floor has the most interesting views of all - the sprawling sylvan land in one direction and a close-up look at the fanciful dome and fanlight to the other. The famous Jasna Polana golf club is an immediate neighbor and downtown Princeton is only 3.5 miles away from this hidden verdant paradise. Includes 1.68 acres in Princeton.

Tucked away in a leafy paradise surrounded by preserved land, this Mid-Century modern gem promises peace and privacy for generations. Step inside, and you'll be wowed by the sparkling wood floors that catch every ray of sunshine streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The gardens are lush and green, and nearly every room opens out to these botanical beauties, making nature your constant companion. The living and great rooms spill out onto a deck with built-in seating. The open kitchen is a dream with its central island and stainless appliances and is adjoined by a big, sunny sunroom that's perfect year-round. One of the three spacious bedrooms sits next to a powder room and a closet, just waiting to be turned into a full bathroom if you desire. The other two bedrooms each have a full bath of their own, perfect for keeping the peace in the mornings. Step outside to find your own secret garden hidden within a fenced courtyard, an ideal spot for a quiet escape. With fresh hardscaping and landscaping all around, grounds are easy on the eyes and easy to maintain. A true Princeton oasis!

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.

The Rushbrook enclave is known for spacious homes of distinction and this English-style residence, clad in stone, is perhaps the most picturesque of them all. Perched on a wide lot just shy of 3.5 acres, it is wrapped in woodsy privacy on three sides. Renowned Barsky Builders, skilled at creating custom spaces that make entertaining easier and everyday life a bit more indulgent, did not hold back on architectural features. A corbeled archway in the foyer and a recessed oval ceiling in the dining room make a striking impression, but such details are not just for formal rooms. The open family room off the gourmet kitchen awes with a rounded two-story window and a paneled wall to match. While a sunroom lined with French doors and fanlights sparkles with light, the adjacent library's rich wood paneling and coffered ceiling are completely enveloping. Seven bedrooms all have custom closets, including the decadent master with double sided dressing room. On the lower level, a gym with sauna, home theater, and wine cellar radiate from an open party room.

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.

Modern sophistication reigns supreme in this immaculately presented and meticulously maintained home in Russell Estates. Perfectly balancing expansive, light-filled spaces with cozy, intimate corners, this home caters to the dynamic needs of today's lifestyles. The dramatic foyer sets the tone for the home's vibrant design and continues into the great room with its large, double-height windows that draw the eye outside to the lush greenery on this home’s sprawling 1+ acre lot, one of the largest in the neighborhood. One side of the room offers an open, airy ambiance, while the other half, with its lower ceiling and fireplace, is more comfortable for intimate gatherings. Adjacent to this central living space, the dining room boasts another fireplace, while French doors provide access to a wraparound porch, perfect for a nightcap al fresco. The renovated, well-appointed kitchen features a large island and a breakfast area. Dual Liebherr refrigerators, Thermador ovens, a 5-burner cooktop with a hood, and a wine fridge will serve the gourmet’s creative juices well. Beyond the kitchen lies the mudroom, laundry, and a versatile study with a sitting room, that could serve as a guest room when needed. The primary bedroom suite on the main floor includes a renovated en-suite bathroom with a vessel tub and a rain shower. This suite also features a dressing gallery with four closets. The family room has the third fireplace and is adjoined by a full bathroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms share another renovated bathroom. An extra-long walk-in closet spans the width of the floor, providing ample storage for all.

Picturesque and distinctive, Russell Estates offers a lively mix of amenities, including two tennis courts (one that converts to a pickleball court) and multiple socials throughout the year.

Crown molding and complementary millwork are extensive throughout, giving dimension to pristine white walls.

The basement comes fully finished with a gym, rec space, media area and full bath, leaving no future projects to ponder.

Winding up the driveway with flowering branches reaching across a babbling stream below, it’s easy to mistake the Max Hayden-designed home coming into view for a rambling 18th century farmhouse. With a wraparound mahogany porch and a big bluestone patio rimmed with boxwoods, it may even conjure notions of a boutique country inn. The house, in fact, was custom built in 2011 and is perfectly suited for the casualness of everyday modern life with plentiful space for even the largest household. A multi-room suite atop the back staircase, a finished walk-out basement and an office with its own entrance and porch are just the types of amenities that cater to today’s needs. Hardwood floors, traditional molding and a bevy of beautiful divided-light windows bestow the whole interior with timeless elegance and ample natural light. The family room is especially inviting thanks to French doors and an uninterrupted openness shared with the kitchen. Island seating, a wide breakfast bay and pro-sized appliances mean there is room for everyone, whether they are eating or helping. Many spaces, like the formal dining room featuring custom millwork and a handsome fireplace, were just painted in soft, contemporary colors. The private spaces upstairs are thoughtfully laid out to give extra privacy to the expansive main suite with a lavish bath and spa shower included. No bedroom is lacking in space, style or storage, and an au pair or extended stay guests will especially love the adaptability and quietude of the rear suite. Don’t miss the dormered top floor, which, with its own full bath, is a charming spot for a bunk room, or the refreshed home gym tucked past the walkout basement recreation and media areas, all served by a full bath. Additional features include a security system, an irrigation system covering the entire lawn and all plantings as well as a Sonos surround system in the family room, kitchen, patio, and basement. With a scenic locale, convenience to town and schools and enduring traditional beauty, this Princeton property is in a class of its own.

On picturesque land with a detached studio, this mid-century modern A-frame boasts four bedrooms, three full baths, a dining room, living room, and family room. Large glass windows in the public rooms of this 1954 architectural gem frame the stunning scenery - a harmonious blend of expansive open yard and majestic, towering trees. While the house and detached studio offer immense potential, both are in need of repair, and the property is being sold strictly 'as-is' with the value mostly in the land. However, with the right touch, this could become an extraordinary home, blending vintage design with modern conveniences. Currently serviced by a septic system, there's the potential for sewer line access across the Great Rd, albeit requiring an easement, which the seller is willing to consider (at the buyer’s sole expense). Situated a mere 3.3 miles from Nassau Street and in close proximity to some of the area's finest schools, this location offers both convenience and serenity. If you're ready to embark on a journey of renovation and expansion in a truly remarkable setting, schedule your appointment today. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this property your own and enjoy life in Princeton.

Leave all expectations behind when you come to this imaginatively designed modern home discreetly nestled into Princeton’s Western Section. What appears to be a cozy mahogany-clad house tucked behind stone garden walls is revealed to be a dramatic 2-story modern barn with soaring wood ceilings, expansive windows and a massive 2-sided stone fireplace defining an otherwise wide-open floor plan. The grounds, too, offer so much more than initially meets the eye with a stone terrace with integrated spa overlooking a rolling lawn dotted with impressive trees and a heated gunite pool. The elite team of Lucash Montgomery and A+B Design Lab are responsible for the concept and build of the barn-like structure as well as transforming the pre-existing mid-century home to blend with the new construction. The result is an extraordinary design that lends itself to both intimate nightly dinners and grand-scale entertaining. The kitchen functions like a Michelin-star restaurant with a workhorse Wolf range, full-size Sub-Zeros and an ingeniously designed marble-topped island with a multi-functional trough running down the middle. While there are far too many custom details to list, a translucent floor panel is especially intriguing, a hint that the walk-out lower level is not to be overlooked. This includes a bedroom wing with three large rooms sharing two large bathrooms. Of course, downstairs is where you’ll also find the wine cellar, as well as a family room with yet another fireplace flanked by bookshelves and brightened by more large windows. There's also a versatile gym with a kitchenette and ample access for outdoor entertaining on the spacious bluestone patio. A guest suite is nicely separated, along with an art/craft studio which could accommodate a number of desired functions including a potential sixth bedroom. Custom closets and an additional dedicated laundry room are more conveniences that show this level was thoroughly thought-out. The sun-filled primary suite is situated on its own main floor wing including an ensuite Scandinavian-style bath with a steam shower, frosted glass doors and a wood-wrapped tub as the serene centerpiece. Also nearby is a second laundry room. This stunning property, within a mile of downtown and Princeton University, epitomizes low-key luxury and is like no other in Princeton.

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.

The historic Witherspoon-Jackson area is a popular place to lay down roots in Princeton and with good reason! Community Park is steps away and friendly sidewalks lead to all the benefits of Palmer Square and Princeton University. Plus, dining options abound within the immediate neighborhood. Parking is at a premium in this vibrant location, but owners of this property need not worry, as the private driveway accommodates up to 3 vehicles. The current house is in need of TLC and would require a gut renovation should you choose to work with what’s there. A covered front porch reveals a configuration with one and half baths and 2 bedrooms on either side of the house, plus a divided basement. Beyond the rear sunroom, you’ll find a nicely sized backyard. Whether you build your in-town dream home from scratch, reimagine this house to meet your own needs or rehabilitate it as a rental property, investing in this beloved neighborhood is always a smart move. Check with the Princeton Zoning Department for specific approvals and restrictions.
