Property Description
The ultimate hideaway in the woods is closer to civilization than you imagine! While totally private at the end of a long private driveway, this storybook stone lodge—recently remodeled and modernized—sits within the confines of Princeton, just a short distance from its top-ranked schools and world-class entertainment and Princeton University. Moss-covered boulders are scattered among ferns and trees on 5.62 acres, allowing the owners to feel immersed in the peace of nature while mere minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Princeton.
Based on the widely published designs by noted architect Ernst Flagg, this lodge has retained its timeless charm while incorporating modern updates that blend seamlessly with its historic character. Cottage-like from the outside yet surprisingly spacious and newly renovated within, the home is enchanting with updated casement windows and thoughtfully modernized interiors. Outdoor access and views of the grounds from nearly every room enhance its planned connection to nature that modern homes simply don't offer.
Step back in time when you walk into the foyer sets as it sets a warm, rugged tone with high ceilings, exposed brick flooring, and an open fireplace crowned with a metal hood. The living room remains the centerpiece of the home, boasting a large natural stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and wood floors perfect for elegant entertaining or a quiet night at home in front of the fire with a book. The dining room looks to the rear of the property allowing dining or sitting while taking in the rear patio. The eat-in kitchen has exposed brick floors yet has been tastefully updated with an adjacent half bath, new cabinets, new counters, new modern appliances, lighting and a bar alcove that perfectly complements the woodsy atmosphere. The kitchen ends in a comfortable, private sitting room that looks out through glass on three sides at the natural beauty of the trees, expansive rear stone patio, and private wooded grounds this estate home offers.
The first floor offers three charming bedrooms each with expansive views of the grounds, while sharing a beautifully remodeled full bath, while the second floor has been updated to an elegant primary suite with all the creature comforts and closet space you desire, including a spacious bath and separate laundry area. The second-floor primary suite offers views from the front, the rear, and a wall of windows to the side.
Additionally, the guest apartment with a full kitchen, bedroom, and sitting area above the detached garage has been refreshed, allowing you to share the tranquility of this timeless yet modernized property with guests or as a separate rental for income.
This lovely and one-of-a-kind home offers additional storage in the tiled basement area along with additional laundry facilities and a temperate wine room.
