*SHOWINGS STARTING THIS SATURDAY 01/21/2023 at 12:00 PM. A highly coveted prime Princeton Ridge location sets the backdrop for this truly unrepeatable opportunity to live in a very private, natural environment just minutes from downtown Princeton. Originally constructed in 1959, this beautiful 4310 SF house was completely re-envisioned, renovated and expanded fifteen years ago by itsâ Architect owner into an extremely comfortable home focused on indoor / outdoor living and grand entertaining. The exterior architectural vocabulary of stucco, stone and redwood is unique and appropriate for the wooded setting as is the limited use of front, northern facing glazing which ensures privacy from the street and weather protection. Soaring ceilings, high windows, recessed lighting and skylights accentuate the main spaces bringing in natural light throughout. There are three wings that wrap around a small elegant courtyard and charmingly attractive entryway that welcomes you home. A main, south facing wing contains all of the primary functional and entertaining spaces. At the center is an eat-in kitchen which features stainless steel appliances, granite counters and table, and a large sky-lit light well over the granite working island. Flanking the sun-splashed kitchen on one side is the formal combination living dining area and on the other is an intimate family room, each with a warm fireplace perfect for gatherings and cozying up with your favorite cup on chilly nights. These main spaces are bracketed by two sunrooms which bring in natural light and frame the large covered thoughtfully designed Portico, that serves as the gateway and transition from the living, kitchen and family rooms to an extremely private, serene and unique yard. Facing east, in a separate wing, are the master bedroom with walk-in-closet, en-suite bath, and two additional bedrooms, bath, plus an office. The west wing features an oversized three car garage with a secondary entrance. A spacious laundry room, and a guest bedroom with full bath offer south facing views of the yard. Above, the large loft / playroom overlook the family room below. An additional attic loft located over the east wing provides ample storage opportunities. There are three separate heating and air-conditioning zones, an endless hot water heater with return loops, and a generator hook-up. The main circulation spaces are delightful with rich hardwood flooring, ceramic tiles and a family room featuring rich Brazilian cherry wood that highlights the living room as well as having newly carpeted bedrooms and lofts. Year-round stunning panoramic views of the outdoors seemingly bring the beauty of nature indoors. Enjoy the custom designed gunite heated pool and large wrap-around Trex deck that can handle large groups of guests with ease. A high-end graceful aesthetic black wrought iron fence encompasses outdoor space of the rear grounds. Dine alfresco among breathtakingly gorgeous sunsets in an enchanted backyard oasis. Serene surroundings invite you to discover walking trails and nature amidst Princeton Ridgeâs forever preserved lush "Emerald Necklace" forest. Revel in all of the magic and splendor downtown Princeton offers just moments away.
