Occupying a large corner lot along one of Princeton’s most admired Western Section streets, this sprawling home is certainly gracious from any approach, but the hidden backyard is even more spectacular than one might imagine. From a sweeping stone terrace, steps lead up to the pool with an integrated spa that mirrors a pretty fountain below. The surrounding lawn is ringed with towering evergreens for privacy year round. French doors and bay windows all across the back of the house take in the view, especially in the open family room and stunningly renovated kitchen. A vast marble-topped island with one of three sinks, a chef-level Wolf range, a beverage bar and a peninsula offer zones for storage, prep and seating with polished nickel fixtures adding touches of sparkle. The entertaining rooms all radiate from the impressive 2-story foyer. The living room and paneled library have traditionally trimmed fireplaces, while the dining room’s built-in buffet combines beauty and practicality. As the entire house was completely rebuilt in 2000, smart storage can be found at every turn and modern conveniences are plentiful: a full bath accessible from the pool, a cubby-lined mudroom and an au pair/guest suite privately positioned on the first floor. There’s even a state-of-the-art wine cellar awaiting discovery in the basement. More high-end renovations exist in the gloriously sunny primary suite with custom walk-in closets and a heavenly bathroom featuring a spa tub nestled into a sun-soaked bay, a steam shower paired with a heated towel bar and pristine marble covering every surface. All other bedrooms, three just down the hall and two more upstairs, also have an attractive bath en suite. Wisely positioned atop the back stairs, a big bonus room with a kitchenette supports unbridled play and up-all-night sleepovers. If fitness is a top priority, use this area as a gym and the smaller room nearby for crafts and games. With so much space, the options are endless. You’ll find a stylish spot to support every facet of a busy lifestyle at this Western Section showplace just a half-mile from downtown.
