Property Description

In Princeton’s coveted Governors Lane enclave, this rare freestanding home captures a sense of quiet distinction, where architecture and thoughtful updates come together in a way that feels both elevated and deeply livable. Each level reveals its own character, creating a home that unfolds with intention, beauty, and ease. The living and dining rooms invite gatherings both intimate and grand with built-ins, glossy wood floors and columns that add a sense of refinement. A dedicated home office offers a serene place to get some work done, and the inviting family room opens into the new, spectacular open-design kitchen, reimagined in 2020 with top-tier appliances and impeccable finishes. It is as functional as it is beautiful, and it is seamlessly connected to a mudroom with a charming butler bar and coffee station. The lower level offers a fully finished space with abundant storage and a laundry area. Upstairs, the second floor is a sanctuary of rest and retreat. The three bedrooms here include an expansive primary suite that lives up to its name, offering a true suite experience with a luxury private bath, multiple closets, and an additional flexible room that can serve as a dressing room, nursery, or secondary office. The hall bathroom is a standout in its own right, thoughtfully renovated with a peaked ceiling and skylight, eye-catching millwork, and beautifully integrated linen storage. The fourth floor offers a versatile, generous open room, accompanied by a full bath perfect for overflow guests or live-in help. Outdoors, a newly designed courtyard patio provides a charming and intimate setting come summer. An attached two-car garage connects directly to the mudroom. Many recent upgrades underscore the home’s turnkey appeal, ensuring peace of mind from the HVAC to the roof. Ideally positioned to appreciate all that Princeton has to offer, including the University, shopping, the theater, highly regarded public and private schools, and excellent dining, there’s so much to love about this fabulous home!
