Architectural Masterpiece by Andrew Sheldon - 140 Laurel Road, Princeton, NJ 08540 Discover the rare charm and modern elegance of this mid-century modern/contemporary home, designed by renowned local architect Andrew Sheldon. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this remarkable residence blends innovative design with natural beauty on a .64-acre lot, half wooded and overlooking a serene creek. Experience a home where architecture meets nature. Ascend the elegant exterior staircase to the upper-level entry, where a bright skylight bathes the space in natural light. A wall of built-in closets at the entrance provides abundant storage, setting the tone for the home’s thoughtful design. Step into the inviting living room, anchored by a gas fireplace framed by recessed skylights. Natural light floods the space, with a large picture window that opens onto the balcony/deck, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A custom built-in bookcase adds a personal touch, perfect for displaying family treasures. The dining room, seamlessly connected to the living room, boasts large picture windows and direct access to the upper deck. Imagine hosting gatherings with tranquil views of the creek and mature woods as your backdrop. The recently updated kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring Kraftmaid cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel Whirlpool appliances. A glass tile backsplash and pendant lighting enhance both style and function. A thoughtful touch is the filtered water faucet, while the full-height greenhouse window is ideal for growing fresh herbs. The adjacent breakfast area opens to the back deck, making al fresco dining a breeze. Retreat to the Primary Bedroom Suite on the upper level, complete with a wall of closets and a private ensuite bath. The ambiance is both peaceful and light-filled, offering a perfect escape.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
