15 Madison St, Princeton, NJ 08542

Princeton’s most charming in-town street, one block from cafes and shops, is where you’ll find a turn-key treasure that masterfully merges past and present. Reimagining the main level through the lens of a modern urbanite, while carefully preserving turn-of-the-century details, this character-rich Victorian was reborn in 2016. Since then, current owners refined the aesthetic and further upgraded the most heavily used spaces, including the kitchen and baths. Open wood ceilings are a rustic counterpoint to steel beams in the openly flowing dining and living spaces, which culminate in a wall of glass. Outside, lush plantings edge the deck and obscure parking for up to 3 cars, complete with a charging station. Thanks to paneled appliances and custom cabinetry topped with a combination of honed quartz and Cambria Quartzite, the working space of the chef’s kitchen has a furniture-quality warmth that looks great within the surroundings. Be sure to peek at the pantry, powder room and office alcove hidden within the paneled wall. Upstairs, custom hallway built-ins maximize storage outside 2 flexibly-configured bedrooms and the main suite. Both tastefully renovated bathrooms remain utterly pristine. The hall bath smartly houses the laundry and the main bath is perfectly planned with a floating dual vanity and rain shower. A 4th top floor bedroom is so big and bright, it can easily house guests and serve as an out-of-the-way family room retreat or office. It’s even pre-plumbed to accommodate a 3rd full bath! Smart lighting and thermostats are further perks that serve a modern lifestyle.
