WELCOME HOME! - This picture perfect house was rebuilt from the foundation/basement up in 2007 with attention to detail and high end custom touches throughout the home that will please the most discerning Princeton buyers. The uncommonly high ceilings, oversized rooms and wide staircases, give a sense of space, height and light as soon as the front door is opened and one enters the home. A foyer and coat closet at the front door allows for a gentle pause before entering a living/dining room area with vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace with a mantle adorned with hand painted tiles by an Italian artist. The Wide Plank hickory floors by Homerwood give the entire house a sense of warmth. Next is the chefs kitchen, also highlighted by a cathedral beamed ceiling, that includes a huge center island of granite with a prep sink, custom cabinets with accent lighting, and plenty of storage drawers with solid bronze hardware by Rocky Mountain Hardware. The amazing array of kitchen appliances include Wolf 48 dual-fuel double convection electric ovens, with 6 gas burners and a gas grill, a Bosch dishwasher, a Liebherr split refrigerator, a high end stove hood and a built in Marvel Wine fridge. Meal preparation will be a joy!! All the backsplash tiles are handmade, the eat in part of the kitchen has a cozy window seat/ storage unit and there are two long granite counters complete with drawers and custom built hanging cabinets between the kitchen and the family room. The magic continues with an oversized family room complete with more built in cabinets and French doors opening to the backyard and wide stairs going to the next floor. However, about 12 years ago, another wing to this 17 year old house was added on the other side of the family room and the office there has to be seen to be believed. Remote working has never been more peaceful. Built as a turret in a castle, the myriad windows let light cascade in and the heated floor keeps feet warm in the winter. The full bath in this wing has a Kallista sink and lovely Walker Zanger tiles. The attached fifth bedroom even has skylights . WOW! - The magic continues on the next floor where the Master Suite and a gorgeous second office awaits. This floor is accessed by two sets of stairs, one directly into the office, the second to a landing overlooking the family room and the Master Bedroom suite that does not disappoint. More vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, a master bath with both a gorgeous shower and a free standing Bain Ultra Air jet tub with Chroma therapy and a heated back rest. Dual Kallista pedestal sinks and a private toilet are also nice touches. On the other side of the floor, a second office complete with custom bookshelves and cabinets can be used as a computer room for the family or an after dinner cocktail room. Let the relaxation begin!! ... Upstairs to the top floor, there are two bedrooms and the laundry room and a full bath and more built cabinets along the landing. Finally downstairs, coming in from the garage is a lovely mud room that thought of the active family when it was designed with a closet, multiple cute cubicles, coat hooks and a storage couch. Further down is the fourth bedroom and a full bath and a door to the basement that is being used for storage as it is the original 1952 basement with low ceilings. A high end dehumidifier was added. Other highlights of the house are a three zone heating system (one of the units is new), a whole house hardwired generator, a new hot water heater, hand forged iron sconces on some of the staircases, and Hunter Douglas Plantation shutters. Lets' not forget however the outdoor life that awaits. A fully fenced backyard (the fence needs work) and a patio is totally private and across the street, glimpses of Carnegie Lake in the sparkling sun will motivate some for a bike ride down to the bucolic canal path. This house is walking distance to town and the highly acclaimed Riverside Elementary school!!

(For Rent and For Sale.)

A center island with a breakfast bar, cooktop and a floating hood is flanked by a window wrapped breakfast room and sunlit sink at one end, a line of cabinets has a convenient coffee/beverage center and desk space at the other end. A formal dining room off the kitchen fosters a warm and comforting feel for more intimate dining . If the crowd is large, a fabulous front-to-back family room /sunroom combo can used as one large open space complete with a wet bar, wine coolers, floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a corner gas fireplace in the front and in the back, a spectacular atrium with walls of windows, vaulted ceiling and a set of glass French doors to the pool and patio. (An easy wall divider could make this area two rooms, allowing the first floor guest suite to have its own spacious sitting room and the main house, a striking sunroom style family room.) A front-to-back living room with a second fireplace is adjacent to a generous size study with a custom built curved, floor-to-ceiling bookcase, a sitting area and a walk-in closet. A second full bath, laundry area, wide hallways with storage and open shelving, and a rear foyer entrance with a walk-in closet to store sports equipment, completes this level. The upper level of the main house has five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling complemented by a large palladian window, walk-in closet and a primary bathroom with dual sinks, a claw tub in an arched alcove, separate shower and water closet. An ensuite bedroom has a walk-in closet and three more bedrooms share a hall bathroom with dual sinks. Over the three car garage is a studio separate from the main house with a private entrance from the side porch and the garage. The open space concept is perfect for yoga, gym, dance/art studio or it could be designed into smartly divided work space. Outside, a two acre lot has been professionally landscaped with blue-stone walkways and patios, some covered, some opened leading to a sparkling pool with a bluestone surround and patio underneath the pergola. Gardens of gorgeous flowers, trees and shrubs surround the property. Completing the picture is a built-in fire pit and seating area that creates the perfect ambiance for evening gatherings.
