The ultimate find - authentic mid-century modern architecture in a private location second-to-none! Down a one-way Western Section lane only a half-mile from downtown and Princeton University is where you'll find this distinctive home and its stunning yard. Designed by Martin L. Beck, esteemed professor of architecture, the house revels in its peaceful, sun-dappled setting. Brimming with curated plants, flowering trees and ornamental grasses, the 1.18-acre grounds are stunning throughout every season. The interior is uncommonly spacious with a smart open concept and classic mid-century accents, like the foyer's wood built-ins and metal handrail. Entertaining areas flow out to the backyard and hardwood floors edged with flagstone bring natural elements inside. Handmade tiles around the fireplace are repeated in the eat-in kitchen, where brands such as Sub-Zero and Dacor are well-known to serious cooks. The family room is airy and relaxed with a handy powder room and a nook for, perhaps, stowing away toys or games. Retreat to the study for focused work or quiet time. With its own sitting room, patio and an Eastern-influenced bath completely covered in stone and wood, a cathedral suite on the first floor presents the option of living day-to-day on one level. There's still plenty of space upstairs, including a second main suite option with a dressing area and marble accented bath. Three more bedrooms with fantastic views share an all-white hall bath. Solar panels and loads of storage in the oversized garage enhance the practicality of this one-in-a-million property. Come see for yourself all the reasons why it is way too special to last!
