Property Description
A full-scale renovation and addition left nothing untouched at this classic Colonial edging Princeton’s Battlefield Park. The 2014 project, proudly featured on Lasley Brahaney’s website, included a new genuine slate roof, crisp white cedar siding and a barrel vaulted portico, all specifically chosen to honor the home’s circa 1915 beginnings. Even the detached garage displays the same gracious charm and attention to detail. A clean, soft paint palette feels especially fresh paired with richly stained hardwood throughout the home’s spotless interior. Textured metallic wallpaper adds a layer of understated glamor to the dining room and hints at the level of finishes to come. A wet bar with wine fridge is perfectly positioned to support entertaining in the formal rooms or in the kitchen, where everyone tends to gather around the generous center island. A Sub-Zero with drawers and a glass door is the crown jewel of the chef-level appliances and ample marble countertops are a baker’s top choice. While the breakfast and family rooms are desirably open, an office and custom mudroom are tucked out of sight. One flight up, two bedrooms now have walk-in closets and dedicated bathrooms. The primary suite boasts gorgeous views of the fenced backyard and broad bluestone patio, particularly from a soaking tub surrounded by marble and the shine of nickel fixtures by Kallista. Of course, there’s a custom walk-in for two, as well as a nearby hall closet ready to accommodate a second laundry, if desired. Previously just an attic, the dormered third floor now offers an incredibly versatile hang-out spot, complete with built-in storage, and a fourth full bath to serve another bedroom with a storybook window nook. This classic beauty provides new-home peace of mind—only 1.4 miles from Nassau Street. A gate out the backyard opens to Battlefield Park with access to the Institute Woods trails, 77 miles of D&R Canal State Park, the Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge, the trolley path along the edge of the Institute for Advanced Study pond, and the Nassau Swim Club.
