Architect Kirsten Thoft is known for her environmentally sustainable development and the thoughtful merging of old and new, bringing functionality, innovation, and sensitivity to everything she designs. Her latest project, this sophisticated conversion of an original 1930s home into a modish, spacious abode with four smartly finished levels, is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The original footprint of the home was opened and expanded, creating a primary bedroom suite with a new bathroom in the addition, a gorgeous new, energy-efficient kitchen, a new den, a big, finished lower level with a full bath. The third floor is topped off with a tree-house like “loft” alongside a fourth bedroom with its own full bathroom. Many original details were left intact, refurbished, or refinished like the wood flooring in some of the bedrooms, the light fixtures, the newel post, and some decorative windows. Otherwise, red oak flooring was added to the first-floor rooms, sleek French and glass pocket doors, and new pine floors were added to the main bedroom suite. Every detail was thought of from the oversized utility sink and a shower in the basement bathroom that could do double duty as a dog wash, to the hooks that line the front hall to keep everyone organized. Outdoor spaces include a second-floor terrace off the main suite and a charming backyard patio. Here is the chance to own a piece of architectural excellence that seamlessly combines functionality and innovation while honoring this home’s original character in a convenient Princeton neighborhood. Come see! Some of the photos include virtually staging.
