    What's special

    Juliet balconyTranquil zen gardenSix beautifully renovated bathroomsDressing closetLarge renovated bathroomRich hardwood floorsLight-drenched interior
    Perched high above the Stony Brook, this Mid-Century Modern masterpiece is a masterclass in light, scale, and connection to the natural world. Set on a lush 2.14-acre lot, the home has been reimagined through an extensive renovation that emphasizes clean lines and an effortless flow. From almost every vantage point, massive windows frame cinematic views of the river below. Inside, the home manages a rare feat: it is incredibly spacious yet remarkably cozy. The light-drenched interior features vaulted ceilings with skylights, rich hardwood floors, and a stunning kitchen outfitted with high-end cabinetry, quartz countertops, and professional-grade appliances. This space offers plenty of room for casual dining, or you can easily transition outside to enjoy a meal on the bluestone patio. For more formal occasions, the adjacent dining room makes entertaining a breeze. Jaw-dropping views from the sitting room entice you to leave the fireplace behind and take a cocktail out onto the deck, where you can watch eagles and herons soar above the water. An additional sitting room, complete with a vaulted ceiling and wet bar, opens directly onto a tranquil zen garden. With seven bedrooms and six beautifully renovated bathrooms, the layout offers exceptional flexibility and numerous options for a home office. The main level hosts three bedrooms, while the upper level features four additional bedrooms. This includes a primary suite that serves as a private sanctuary, featuring a large, renovated bathroom, Juliet balcony, a dressing closet, and a fireplace overlooking the river. The property has been thoughtfully elevated in recent years, with the majority of windows replaced with high-performance Renewal by Andersen glass, ensuring the home is as efficient as it is beautiful. Recent exterior enhancements further the property’s appeal, including professional new landscaping, updated guttering, a durable standing-seam metal roof, and a discreet deer fence to protect the verdant grounds. Whether you are hosting a large gathering on the bluestone patio or enjoying a quiet morning in the garden, the home’s design celebrates a serene lifestyle. This is a retreat that feels miles away from everything while offering every modern luxury in a highly sought-after Princeton location, just minutes from the vibrant downtown, Princeton University, and Princeton’s top public and private schools.
