Description

Set behind tall hedges in the heart of the historic Village of Lawrenceville, this grand 19th-century Tudor offers timeless beauty, elegant detailing, and rare privacy—directly across from The Lawrenceville School. Known as Montgomery House when it served the school, then affectionately renamed Snug Harbour by the family who has cherished it for the past fifty-plus years, this Lawrenceville landmark filled with warmth, character, and promise is ripe for renovation and ready to be restored to its full glory. Storybook timber detailing, an inviting covered porch, and intricate leaded windows reveal craftsmanship of another era. Inside, the gracious floor plan highlights all of the exceptional architectural features one would expect from a home of this caliber: a stunning staircase, bespoke woodwork, five fireplaces, and charming window seats. Wood floors remain in remarkable condition and paneled doors still show off their rich wood grain. The beamed front hall and formal dining room are scaled for entertaining, while the living room and den foster more intimate conversation or hunkering down with a good book. Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms are served by three full baths. And the unfinished third floor is full of possibilities. A two-car garage, mud entry with laundry, and perfectly sized backyard within view of the expanded vintage kitchen cater to the needs of an on-the-go household. Bring your contractor, architect, and ambition! While a significant project awaits, this home presents a rare opportunity for personalization and reimagination, and the return on investment for a discerning buyer is clear. To carry forward a piece of Lawrenceville’s legacy will be a worthy venture—and living within its storied walls, the reward. Proudly anchoring the northwest corner of Main Street and Green Avenue, this home is ideally located to enjoy the best of Lawrenceville in-town living: award-winning eateries, Weeden Park community events, the Lawrence-Hopewell Trail, and convenient proximity to Princeton, the Hamilton train station, Route 1, and I-295.
