About this home
Set on a two-acre corner lot in the scenic Princeton Ridge, directly across from the wooded trails of Witherspoon Woods, this stately Colonial blends natural surroundings with versatile living space. Designed with a long, graceful façade and clean architectural lines, the home offers a timeless presence while opening to beautifully landscaped grounds and a sparkling inground pool.
Inside, the main level showcases hardwood floors throughout, beginning with a central hall entry that leads to a formal living room, formal dining room, and a family room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and dual French doors—one opening to the backyard and another to a vaulted screened porch overlooking the pool and gardens. Additional main floor highlights include a dual glass-door office, plus a flexible sixth bedroom currently used as a yoga room with an attached full bath and direct pool access. A powder room, laundry/mudroom, and a two-car side-entry garage with epoxied flooring complete this level. Across the driveway, a detached two-car garage offers bonus storage or workshop space. Upstairs, five bedrooms include a serene primary suite with an updated bath, while four additional bedrooms share two hall baths. Hardwood floors continue throughout the upper level, creating warmth and continuity across the home. The location is equally impressive, offering easy commutes to Princeton's renowned private schools as well as the highly regarded Princeton public school system. Just minutes from downtown, the property enjoys direct access of the Witherspoon Woods - a scenic network of trails dotted with massive boulders perfect for climbing, hiding and exploring, making it a favorite for children and nature enthusiasts alike. Blending convenience, natural beauty, and academic excellence, this home offers the best of Princeton living.
