This exceptional Princeton estate is so much more than just a place to call home. It’s an opportunity to cultivate a lifestyle that encourages hosting, recreation, wellness and creative pursuits, all in one spectacular setting totaling over 26 acres. The classic Georgian brick house was built for a legendary sports franchise owner, who frequently entertained on a grand scale. Currently, an avid art collector uses the expertly renovated spaces to showcase contemporary works surrounded by traditional architectural features, like layered moldings, French doors and wide-plank antique floors. Fireplaces grace several rooms, including the formal areas and a paneled library. A radiant-heated sunroom and broad bluestone terraces overlook a recently added saltwater pool, while a gazebo, a pergola and whimsically striped awnings offer plenty of shelter from the summer sun. The brick breakfast room’s built-in BBQ is a rustic alternative to the brilliant white kitchen with marble countertops, custom glass cabinetry and paneled appliances - truly, the height of culinary elegance, complete with a full-size wine fridge and a double Thermador range. A roomy first floor guest suite, currently serving as an office/family room, shows its flexibility, as does a multi-room suite atop the gracefully curving main staircase. There are six bedrooms in total and every spotless bathroom is beautifully tiled, but none compare to the primary suite dressed in new designer wallpaper and lighting. The custom-detailed dressing room, vanity station and mosaic marble bath are stunning spots to prepare for the day or an evening out. In addition to the recently finished basement, a speakeasy-style wing with separate entrance hosts movie nights, pool tournaments, Super Bowl parties and more. But for momentous celebrations, head to the newly built 4-bay party barn with finished upper level! Clad in character-rich mushroom wood, this clean-as-can-be structure is also ideal for the car collector or artist of any kind. The manicured grounds include a tennis court and pollinator-friendly gardens, while nature trails spread far and wide through the woods. This gated compound, which is farm-assessed, straddles the Lawrence/Princeton Township line, putting it within an easy drive of so many top-notch schools, both public and private. Plus, Jasna Polana’s championship golf course is right next door! Owner is NJ Licensed Real Estate Agent.
