About this home
Historic Glencairn – A Storied Princeton-Area Residence
Imagine living in one of the region’s most architecturally significant historic houses—rich in character, meticulously upgraded, and offering a rare blend of heritage and modern expectations. Just three miles from Princeton, Glencairn is currently operated as an award-winning inn, it is also well suited to serve as a distinguished private residence.
A portion of the house rests on a 1697 stone foundation, revealing hand-laid masonry, original timber elements, and gracefully proportioned rooms that reflect centuries of craftsmanship. A comprehensive renovation by Ford3 Architects in 2005 introduced radiant heat, instant hot water, zoned central air, updated plumbing and electrical systems, conversion to natural gas and city sewer, and a slate roof. More recent enhancements—including a cedar roof, central fire alarm system, full-house generator, fresh exterior paint, and a resealed driveway—underscore the estate’s exceptional level of care.
Formal rooms retain architectural gravitas, while the great room in the earliest portion of the house features a monumental walk-in fireplace, a striking focal point that anchors the residence. Six en-suite bedrooms—including two multi-room suites—offer refined accommodations. The expansive kitchen with its walk-in pantry supports both everyday living and larger gatherings.
The deep, picturesque grounds include three historic outbuildings: a relocated 19th-century barn offering versatility ranging from a rustic entertainment venue to indoor sports court or three-bay garage; an original stone smokehouse; and the romantic backdrop of the former stone stables. Celebrated in major publications, Glencairn is a rare architectural jewel—masterfully restored, thoughtfully modernized, and ready for its next discerning steward.
