In Princeton's Western Section, set among some of the area’s most elegant addresses, this custom-built home makes a striking impression from the moment its gated drive comes into view. Set on nearly an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds, this home oozes with modern luxury. Grand in scale yet remarkably inviting, it offers five bedrooms, six full baths, and a powder room, including a versatile main-level suite that can easily function as guest quarters or a private home office suite. A three-car garage and beautifully finished lower level further enhance the home's exceptional functionality. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings above create an immediate sense of openness. Every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and quality, from the rich architectural millwork and coffered ceilings to the carefully curated finishes and RH lighting found throughout the home. The chef's kitchen is both stunning and highly functional, featuring premium appliances, including an Ilve range and matching hood, along with an oversized center island and casual dining space. Nearby, the formal dining room is distinguished by a dramatic glass-enclosed wine display that serves as both art and centerpiece. The two-story great room is a showstopper, flooded with natural light and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked limestone fireplace. Front and rear staircases provide graceful access to the second level, where four spacious bedrooms include an extraordinary primary suite. Designed to be a private sanctuary, it features a tray ceiling and a separate sitting room with a dual-sided fireplace that adds ambiance to both spaces. The luxurious bath rivals a five-star spa, complete with a vessel soaking tub, multi-jet shower, and customized walk-in closet storage. The lower level expands the home's lifestyle offerings with a fitness room, media lounge, hobby and recreation spaces, and a private au pair suite with a full bath. Laundry spaces on both the first and second floors adds to this home’s overall modern functionality. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A spacious deck overlooks the resort-inspired backyard, where a sparkling swimming pool with an automatic cover creates a private setting for summer. Surrounded by expansive lawn, the grounds offer both beauty and privacy rarely found so close to downtown. Combining custom construction, refined design, and one of Princeton's most sought-after locations, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living less than a five-minute drive to Nassau Street.

On a corner lot in the heart of the famous Western Section, a mere half-mile from bustling downtown and Princeton University's world-class campus, astonishing artistry and a fascinating history combine for a home like no other. As refined as it appears from the courtyard entry, it only gets more impressive as you continue through the array of rooms discovering storied mantelpieces, carved woodwork and imported fixtures along the way. The deep grounds also never fail to surprise and delight all who are lucky enough to spend a day relaxing by the Roman-style pool or dining on the stone terrace. The lawn and formal garden have even hosted tented celebrations for hundreds with ease. The 1840 house welcomes you into the foyer, where a mural's softly colored tree branches reach toward an unusually high ceiling. The living room is large enough for a combination of seating areas or even billiards, as the current set-up shows. Pocket doors allow a view of the library's elaborately detailed woodwork while seated in the classically styled dining room. Plenty of sunshine and radiant heat keep the marble-clad family room from ever feeling chilly. New quartz countertops freshen up the crisp white kitchen with a wealth of storage around every turn. A breezeway connects the three-car garage and leads to a pool house like no other, where glass and crystal creations custom-made in Paris by the artisans of Lalique conjure a magical underwater fantasy world. Carved sea creatures whimsically watch over the gathering space served by a full kitchen, wine cellar and bathrooms worthy of Poseidon himself! Above, a playroom/gym provides plenty of space for healthy indoor recreation. The upper levels of the main house hold seven bedrooms served by five baths. The largest and airiest of those bedrooms radiate from the light-filled landing, along with an office beyond fanlight-topped pocket doors. The main suite has it all: dressing room, fireplace, marble bath, sunroom and a deck overlooking a trickling water feature and stunning trees that put on an autumnal show. This is your chance to leave your mark on one of the Western Section's finest showplaces. The property's tax assessment has been reduced.

This extraordinary brick home stands on one of the Western Section’s most admired streets, just a block from the edge of town and moments from Princeton University. Every surface, inside and out, reflects a level of quality and craftsmanship rarely seen, even in this coveted neighborhood. Step inside to a sweeping staircase rising from a harlequin floor, setting the tone for interiors that are design-forward and exceptionally detailed. Arched windows, paneled walls and substantial millwork are elevated by a confident, curated palette. The home’s most memorable space - the volume-ceiling library positioned prominently off the foyer - is equal parts showpiece and sanctuary. The beamed dining room’s bespoke china cabinetry and the gourmet oak pantry in the Christopher Peacock designed kitchen are functional works of art. Further proving that practicality is paramount, the family and breakfast rooms open fluidly to the heart of the home and a first floor bedroom easily converts to an entire guest wing, if needed. Outdoors, terraced stone patios unfold alongside a water garden, leading to a pool and brick poolhouse - an architectural reflection of the home itself. French doors offer seamless access to the walk-out lower level, which does not disappoint. A game room, full kitchen, bath, gym, and additional rooms prepared to meet any need spread out from the beautiful, open staircase. Upper bedrooms offer exceptional scale and individuality, each with a private bath. The primary suite is a warm refuge with a fireplace, sitting room, two-level dressing room and a newly added infrared sauna. From custom bunks to storybook alcoves, each secondary bedroom boasts utterly enchanting features. There is truly nothing left to want at this turn-key, in-town residence.
