106 Christopher Dr, Princeton, NJ 08540
What's special
Set within Princeton’s distinguished Ettl Farm, 106 Christopher Drive is an impressive brick-front Carmel model—one of Ettl Farm’s largest models. Beautifully proportioned interiors, refined architectural details and remarkable versatility distinguish this gracious residence, designed equally well for elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The home opens to a soaring two-story foyer, where hardwood floors, a dramatic arched window and detailed millwork create an immediate sense of arrival. The formal dining room is enhanced by custom faux-finished walls and sconces, while a handsome built-in butler’s pantry with decorative cabinetry and a wine refrigerator makes entertaining effortless. Across the foyer, the inviting living room is centered by a gas fireplace and offers a polished yet comfortable setting for conversation. At the heart of the home, the spectacular two-story family room is filled with natural light from multiple exposures and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. French doors extend the living space to the rear patio, creating an easy connection between the interiors and surrounding grounds. The beautifully appointed kitchen pairs timeless design with outstanding function. Crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel Wolf and SubZero appliances, and a center island with seating are complemented by a walk-in pantry with custom shelving. Positioned between the kitchen and family room, the sunlit breakfast room provides generous space for casual dining while maintaining an open, connected flow. An exceptional feature of the main level is the expansive music room, distinguished by its vaulted ceiling, plantation shutters and private outdoor entrance. Paired with a full bath, this versatile space could also serve beautifully as a first-floor en-suite. A private office, powder room with grass cloth walls, mudroom with a built-in bench and storage, laundry room and direct access to the three-car garage complete the main level. Wider-plank hardwood flooring extends throughout most of this floor, lending warmth and continuity to the interiors. Two staircases provide convenient access to the upper level: the main staircase rises from the two-story foyer, while a second staircase is ideally positioned near the kitchen. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite makes a striking impression with its generous proportions, abundant natural light and an entire wall of beautifully crafted built-in cabinetry providing exceptional storage. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the bedroom with a private sitting room. Two walk-in closets feature custom built-in organizers. The spacious primary bath is appointed with a marble-topped dual-sink vanity, two recessed medicine cabinets concealed behind the mirrors, a jetted tub, separate glass-enclosed shower and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized, including an en-suite guest room with an updated bath, and two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The unfinished basement presents outstanding possibilities for future recreation, fitness, media or entertaining spaces. Additional appointments include ceiling speakers throughout the first floor and primary suite, central vacuum, Toto toilets, abundant custom storage and a water alarm near the washer and water heater. Outside, extensive landscaping surrounds a beautifully designed bluestone-and-brick patio and adjoining entertaining area with a built-in grill. A brick-trimmed driveway, four-zone irrigation system and three-car garage further enhance the property. With its commanding scale, versatile floor plan and refined setting, 106 Christopher Drive presents an exceptional opportunity in one of Princeton’s most admired residential communities.
