Description

Within the Pond View enclave, moments from downtown Princeton and the area’s top-rated schools, this extensively expanded home delivers generous living spaces, a long list of recent upgrades and exceptional flexibility, including a choice of primary suites. Freshly repointed and painted, the exterior sets a polished tone. Inside, oversized rooms feel bright and welcoming thanks to transom windows, recessed lighting and stylish modern fixtures. The 2-story living room and dining room flow together for seamless entertaining, while the kitchen offers double ovens, a Wolf cooktop, Sub-Zero fridge, island seating and a sunny breakfast bay - all within view of the family room’s showstopping stone fireplace. Wood beams emphasize the dramatic cathedral ceiling and add unforgettable character. In the opposite wing, an office joins the original primary suite boasting a massive walk-in closet and a bath updated in 2024 to include a Grohe shower tower. Upstairs, an additional suite, two more bedrooms, a crisp white hall bath and a cheerful laundry room join the spectacular second primary retreat, complete with a sitting area, a cozy new electric fireplace and a dedicated dressing room. Its spa-like bath is finished with basketweave marble tile, custom crystal lighting, a slipper tub and another Grohe shower tower. The finished basement adds even more living space with high ceilings, large windows and distinct spaces for fitness, media and guests. A full kitchen, freshly renovated full bath and exterior door make this level especially adaptable. Additional perks include a stone-tiled mudroom off the finished garage and two elevated decks, including one with a hot tub for evenings under the stars. Systems were continuously upgraded and a generator furthers peace of mind.
