About this home
Just five miles from downtown Princeton, hidden behind a long white stone driveway and a forest of mature Norwegian spruce, this eight-acre estate offers an unexpectedly transportive experience shaped as much by architectural craftsmanship and interior sophistication as by its idyllic natural setting. The exterior draws from Dutch country architecture, while Georgian-inspired interiors introduce symmetry, rich detailing, and beautifully scaled living spaces. From the moment one enters, the home unfolds through a sequence of elegantly composed rooms finished with coffered ceilings, custom millwork, arched doorways, and finely crafted built-ins that lend warmth and architectural depth. The proportions feel timeless and stately, with spaces designed to be both connected and distinct. A private office concealed behind pocket doors offers an intimate retreat for focused work or quiet reading. The kitchen balances craftsmanship with utility. A substantial Wolf range sits beneath a custom hood clad in the same decorative tilework as the backsplash, creating cohesion and character. A dual-sided fireplace connects the kitchen and adjoining family room, while both spaces open directly onto an expansive bluestone patio. Nearby, a screened porch with a herringbone brick floor adjoins the salon. Practical spaces have been given equal consideration. The laundry room and mudroom occupy their own dedicated wing, keeping the main living areas serene and uncluttered. A pergola extends from the house to an extraordinary garage with soaring three-story proportions and a dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling. More than utilitarian, the space feels cathedral-like in scale and could easily serve as a studio, event space, or collector’s showroom. The bedroom suites continue the home’s emphasis on comfort and proportion, each offering expansive sleeping quarters and generous closet storage. The primary suite is especially impressive, featuring a boutique-style walk-in closet, a spa-like bath, and an adjoining satellite room currently configured as a private gym. Behind the garage, there’s a separate studio apartment with both a kitchen and bath. Woodland paths, raised vegetable gardens, a firepit clearing overlooking a pond, a barn, and a professionally designed hobby vineyard create a landscape that feels quiet, cultivated, and deeply restorative. Planted in 2025 with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Vidal grapes, the vineyard is intended to yield up to 200 bottles annually, with local vintners available to produce small-batch private-label wines for this home’s next lucky owner....
