About This Home

Nestled in the sought-after Preserve neighborhood of Princeton, this stately yet elegant French Provincial residence offers privacy, tranquility, and beautiful views from every angle. Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet above grade, the home blends timeless elegance with everyday comfort. A dramatic two-story foyer with a sweeping staircase welcomes you and opens to a formal dining room and a private office featuring built-in shelving, a fireplace, tray ceiling, and large windows. Solid hardwood flooring runs throughout, and natural light fills the home. The spacious living room includes a fireplace, built-in shelves, wet bar, and French doors that open to the expansive rear deck. The soaring vaulted family room, highlighted by a stone-surround fireplace, also provides direct access to the deck — perfect for enjoying the peaceful natural setting. The first-floor primary suite offers French doors to the deck, a generous dressing area with window seat, and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking jetted tub, separate shower, and double-sink vanity. Upstairs are five additional bedrooms. Two bedrooms share a bath and can function as an en suite with a large sitting room. Two more bedrooms share an updated Jack-and-Jill bath, and the fifth bedroom features its own private bath and a separate sitting area, offering flexible use. The finished basement includes a spacious recreation room, a full bath with shower, and ample storage space. An elevator services all three levels, enhancing convenience and accessibility. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large deck overlooking the rear yard and swimming pool, surrounded by mature landscaping. In bloom, the garden showcases roses, hydrangeas, and seasonal flowers. A three-car attached garage completes the home. Solid in structure, exceptional in layout, and ideally located, this well-maintained property offers thoughtful updates and outstanding potential — ready to become a truly personalized Princeton residence.
