Description

An all-electric modern renovation on a private, wooded 0.71 acres in Princeton, where a wall of glass opens the lower level straight onto a new patio and the trees beyond. The house is move-in ready, and the backyard is a clean canvas for the outdoor living of your dreams.
The exterior has a crisp, modern look: white vertical and taupe horizontal siding, black windows, exterior lighting and a new paver walkway. The attached 2-car garage has all-new black doors with automatic openers. The front and side doors have smart glass that switches from clear to frosted privacy at the push of a button, along with Schlage electronic locks.
Inside, wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, with fresh white walls, recessed lighting and new doors and hardware. An open staircase has white oak railings and black metal balusters. On the main level, the living room, dining area and kitchen flow together under oversized windows framing the trees. The kitchen is the heart of the home. It has a full Bosch appliance package, a waterfall island, white uppers over warm wood lowers, and a farmhouse sink with a gold faucet under a window. A marble-look slab backsplash runs to the ceiling, with a custom hood and floating oak shelves.
There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including two primary suites. On the main level, the primary suite has an oak double vanity with a marble top, brass fixtures, and a large walk-in shower with a bench and niche. It also has a walk-in closet with a window and custom built-ins. A second bedroom with two full closets and a full hall bath complete the main level, along with a bonus room with corner windows that make the perfect home office.
Downstairs, a second primary suite shares a large Jack-and-Jill bath with the fourth bedroom, which makes the lower level ideal for guests, extended family or teens.
The walkout lower level is built for entertaining. A 28-foot den has a linear electric fireplace on a whitewashed brick hearth, and a built-in bar with oak cabinetry, a marble-look counter and floating shelves. When the folding glass doors are open, the room and the patio become one space.
It’s the best of all worlds. You live in Princeton, minutes from downtown and the University, yet the setting is quiet, serene and entirely your own. Everyday errands are just as easy: the new Montgomery Promenade on Route 206, home to the new Whole Foods, is about 3 minutes away, and major commuter routes are close by. It’s in Princeton Public Schools, zoned for Littlebrook Elementary.
There’s plenty on the market, but nothing quite like this. It’s the rare gem you’ve been waiting for.
