Nestled on historic Nassau Street just moments from Princeton University, this expansive home offers a rare blend of character, privacy, and convenience. Surrounded by lush mature trees and neighboring estate-style homes, the property combines classic charm with modern livability across two spacious levels. The main floor is designed for entertaining, featuring a formal living room, dining room, and a spacious family room—each with its own fireplace. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, while the private backyard with its inviting pool creates the perfect retreat for warm-weather gatherings. Upstairs, the home offers five bedrooms and three and a half baths, including a luxurious primary suite with its own fireplace, private balcony, and dual walk-in closets flanking the bathroom. Additional bedrooms, along with a versatile room that could serve as a laundry or office, provide ample flexibility for today’s lifestyle. 428 Nassau Street is more than a home—it is a historic Princeton estate offering the rare harmony of country serenity and downtown convenience. Truly, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
