Own one of Princeton's most historic homes! This 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 4024 sq. ft. home is a gorgeous work of art! The foyer features an ornate stairway with a wooden church bench at the bottom. Original hardwood floors run throughout most of the home. Double doors from the foyer lead into the parlor. This room is centered around a decorative fireplace with a marble mantel. A unique "box bay" window has lattice woodwork and its own pocket doors. The floor is inlaid with a "border and field" wooden parquet border. Another set of pocket doors lead to the sitting room. This room has a beautiful bay window, a stained glass window hanging, 7 layer crown molding, and more pocket doors with etched glass. The baby grand piano is right at home in front of the bay window and will stay with the property. The dining room has French doors with etched glass and chair rail with wood wainscoting. The dining table will seat plenty of guests in this 28 ft. long room! The living room is an inviting place to relax after dinner. A beamed ceiling, built in bookcases, window seats and a gas fireplace make this a warm and welcoming retreat. Like to cook? This may be the kitchen of your dreams. SS appliances (including new "smart frig"), granite counter tops, soft close cherry cabinets and a high end stove complete with "pot filler" faucet are all here. 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a laundry room are all located upstairs. The basement is huge and provides plenty of storage. The detached, two-story garage has radiant in-floor heat and 3 parking bays. In addition, the main floor houses a hobby room, 4 season room plumbed for a hot tub and another room plumbed for a bath. The second floor has been totally renovated into a loft apartment! There is a full kitchen, laundry, and beautiful bath with accessible shower--a perfect in-law suite or guest house! Two platform lifts have been installed. One is inside the garage to service the apartment and the other is outside the main home to provide access to one of the back doors. Approximately 5 additional acres is also available for sale. This is only the second time this property has been offered on the open market. Homes like this are a rare treasure! Take the virtual tour included with this listing!
