Property Description
In one of Princeton’s most beloved neighborhoods, right down the street from the Institute Woods, a 1920’s Dutch Colonial has useful space on four levels and a big backyard. A recently replaced roof and a custom-designed kitchen attest to the current owners’ commitment to quality and authenticity, both inside and out. Charming touches greet you right away - an arched alcove, recessed bookshelves and a traditional fireplace, not to mention hardwood floors. Wide openings between the living and dining rooms give distinct spaces a free-flowing feel, in line with modern tastes. The sunroom, wrapped in big windows, leads out to a pergola-shaded stone terrace. The kitchen was masterfully planned to incorporate all of a busy cook’s must-haves: a pro-style hood over a modern range, built-in banquette seating and smart storage that maximizes every inch. Carrara marble has developed a beautiful patina and brilliant white cabinetry is timeless. Across from the powder room, a handy side entry gives easy access to the finished basement, where you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find an extra bathroom. A former shelter, added by a colleague of Oppenheimer’s, now makes the perfect wine cellar! The second floor includes a fresh, subway-tiled bathroom outside 3 corner bedrooms and the comfortably sized primary suite with a private, marble-tiled bath. The third floor suite is its own cozy sanctuary with spots to study and read outside another bathroom with a clawfoot tub. A two-car garage and a wood-plank fence define the lush rear lawn, which could easily accommodate an expansion with plenty of room remaining for play. Outdoor privacy like this seems in line with country living, but this property is merely a mile from downtown!
