While The Preserve has long been regarded as one of Princeton’s most scenic enclaves, known for gracious homes nestled into a dramatic woodland setting, this property surpasses every expectation. The lot is among the prettiest with a stone terrace basking in the filtered sun and peaceful quietude of majestic trees. The interior is even more inspiring thanks to impeccable decor, bold updates and architectural vision that ensured ample windows and multiple exposures to maximize light and views in nearly every room. While finishes and flourishes are tasteful throughout, they are far from ordinary, such as the Venetian sconces bouncing light off glossy Tiffany-blue walls in the dining room or the burnished mahogany bookcases surrounding a hand-carved limestone fireplace in the library. Sculptural modern lighting makes a striking statement in the kitchen, newly equipped with Bosch, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Beams and built-ins ground the comfortable 2-story great room, while skylights add buoyancy to the sunroom, where a wet bar is handy for preparing alfresco cocktails. A main level guest room has a balcony and access to the first of four artfully renovated full baths. This one showcases geometric tile and a column sink. Atop the gracefully curving staircase, the main suite is the epitome of refined luxury with a fireplace-warmed sitting room, sleek custom closets and a soaking tub as the centerpiece of its chic new bathroom. Three additional bedrooms are sumptuous and spacious with more custom closets. If you long to add your own interior touches, finish the walk-out basement to suit your needs! More than a house, this curated home is an homage to understated glamor and the art of living well. With sidewalks to downtown Princeton, it offers the best of both worlds.
