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.

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.

Step into this masterfully designed home on magnificent Players Lane and watch your vision unfold with the most cumbersome phases of construction already in the past. Spaces are impressively scaled, but never imposing, with jaw-dropping Lepage windows welcoming in light.

But an indoor pool with retractable doors and a sky-high cupola ceiling is beyond expectations, along with interior equipment for efficient pool heating complete with a separate entry to ease maintenance. Radiant heat and tanks for wall-mount toilets are in place for all 8 full baths and 4 half baths, including one with exterior access for service personnel. For the bibliophile, the house offers a library, separate from the home manager’s office on the main floor and an additional upper level office.

Garages for four cars are separated into pairs, ideal for prized vehicles that warrant extra protection.

Your dream home is well underway and the good life is closer than you ever imagined!

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. Only 3 miles to Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyond…come see!

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.

With the D&R Canal edging one side and preserved natural land bordering the 3 other sides, this peaceful, nearly 9-acre offering has that worlds-away country feel within 47 miles of NYC and 8 miles of Princeton.

Presenting the chance to live in one-of-a-kind comfort, the dramatic stone and clapboard barn is full of rustic contemporary allure thanks to the talents of renowned local architect, Jerry Ford. Huge beams accentuate soaring ceilings and oversized windows welcome in light and protected views of the grounds. Some space is wide open, ideal for gathering groups. A library, featuring floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a study with a reading nook, are cozy spots to escape.
