46 Heather Ln, Princeton, NJ 08540

Holding pride of place atop a gentle hill in a quiet corner of Princeton, a custom-built home stands on a larger-than-usual lot that encourages everyone to get out and live life in the fresh air. Glorious flowering trees shade a stone walkway up to a lighted sport court that can host full-court basketball, tennis, pickleball, hockey... you name it! Just below, a recently added fenced pool is served by a pool house with a kitchenette, bathroom and plenty of shelter from the sun. The gated 2.89-acre lot also has structures for creative play, plenty of grassy areas to run around and ample parking in the beautifully planted circular driveway. A bluestone terrace with a fire pit and grilling area is just beyond French doors lining the back of the house. So, whether you're in the tucked-away study, the fireplace-lit family room or the sunny breakfast area, you're just a step away from outdoor paradise. Indoor spaces, beginning with the stunning foyer, are filled with sophisticated details, like paneled walls, glimmering light fixtures and inlaid wood floors. Even the finished basement, with a gym and full bath, features real hardwood. The fresh white kitchen has all the major must-haves, like a double Viking range and paneled Sub Zero, plus handy extras, such as fridge drawers and a bar area. Custom cabinetry in the adjoining mudroom is just high quality. Up two staircases, each of five bedrooms has a distinctive feel, whether it comes from a cozy alcove or a broad balcony. The bathrooms are all done in marble with the main bath being the largest and most luxurious. In addition to an upper lounge area, a third floor suite with yet another beautiful bathroom is ready for guests, play or a personal getaway.
