Furnished, but owner is willing to remove some furniture if needed. Built in 1745 and designated a Historic Landmark, this recently renovated five-bed, five-bath home set on nearly three acres in Lawrenceville (Princeton address) is within easy bicycling distance of Princeton University, Princeton and Lawrenceville downtowns, a plethora of private and public schools, and the Hopewell Lambertville Trail. Set back from the road on acreage dotted with beautiful and mature trees, the home presents a stately yet welcoming appearance, which carries through to the inside. Tall ceilings, wood floors and a multitude of windows flood the home with natural light, from the front-to-back living room with fireplace at one end of the home, to the enormous kitchen, breakfast nook and sitting room at the other. Spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a substantial guest list while entertaining, the kitchen is truly the heart of this home, featuring a red brick floor and white boxed beams, white cabinets topped with white quartz, a butcher-block-topped island with seating and prep sink, Bosch stainless steel appliances, a full-size sink beneath a window overlooking the yard, and extra storage in the butler's pantry, which has a second prep sink and a wine cooler. A breakfast nook with tall windows on three sides is a sunny place to enjoy panoramic views of the deep yard. Finishing the first level are the dining room, a library with a wood-burning stove and a full wall of floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and a full bath. Front and back staircases lead to the second level, where the master suite is equipped with walk-in closets, dressing area, and a private bath and separate shower. Two other bedrooms have private baths, while the remaining two share a hall bath. The sixth room on this level could easily serve as a dressing room or home office. Throughout the home, enjoy random-width wood floors, crown molding and wood paneling, built-in storage, decorative and functional fireplaces, and generously sized rooms and closets. A bluestone patio spanning the length of the home overlooks the side yard, where a fenced in-ground pool beckons. Ample storage awaits in the full unfinished basement with Bilco doors, the walk-up attic, a large shed and a detached three-car garage. An automatic generator ensures the power stays on for the living areas. The home also has 4-zone AC and 3-zone heating. Recent renovations include 5 bathrooms, kitchen, and pantry 2022. This home offers plenty of space, as well as proximity to popular commuter routes and rail lines to Philadelphia and New York City.
