Description

A stone manor home and carriage house anchoring a premier Princeton cul de sac exude poetic beauty with timeless design elements, such as pretty dormers against a slate roof. Here, on 4-plus acres with every amenity imaginable, you can live your very best life. With imported marble, santos mahogany floors and sculptural ironwork, the spaces within are distinctly detailed, yet united by fine craftsmanship and old-world artistry. Features of the living room include a coffered ceiling and a row of French doors framing an expansive stone terrace beyond the screened porch. Mantles of carved limestone quietly warm the library and dining room. Private areas take a more relaxed tone without sacrificing drama or luxury. The kitchen, done in a soft cream palette, and the family room with a soaring wood ceiling were impeccably renovated in 2019. Accessible by elevator and a sweeping staircase, the lower level is devoted to leisure with a theater, billiard room, separate exercise studios and more. When it comes to both wellness and entertaining, a natatorium is the ultimate indulgence. Doors running the length of the pool open to the garden and terrace blurring the lines between indoors and out. In addition to a palatial upper level main suite with dedicated dressing rooms, a first floor suite with chic marble bath and views of a private garden is equally restorative. Four more suites include a whimsical bunk room beside a darling reading nook. While any guest or on-site help would be grateful for the independent accommodations, the ancillary 3-bedroom carriage house also presents an opportunity to finally achieve the ideal work/life balance right at home.
