9 Lytle St, Princeton, NJ 08542

This flawless Princeton home was completely rebuilt in 2014 by longtime local builder Lewis Barber to remain in keeping with the historic feel of the one-way, in-town street, while also maximizing space, light and outdoor enjoyment. If ever there was an ideal spot to sip a drink and soak up the flavor of the friendly neighborhood, this front porch is it! There is also a rear garden festooned with roses and a sky-high deck for times when you seek fresh air in solitude. Inside, a well-planned layout makes great use of space, like a media alcove in the living room and an office behind a pocket door. The nicely sized dining area has gorgeous garden views and an open flow into the kitchen, where dark Caesarstone, open shelving and an Italian stainless steel range with matching hood look timelessly chic beneath a beamed ceiling. A huge walk-in pantry proves that storage was never an afterthought. Hardware throughout is top-of-the-line with striking glass doorknobs. Impactful details like this continue upstairs, where the main suite boasts a naturally bright, custom-organized, walk-in closet and a spotless bath done in a modern-meets-traditional mix. A nearby den adjoins the second bedroom, making it uncommonly spacious and highly flexible. The skylit third floor never fails to surprise and delight! Clever storage is tucked into every corner of a family room/TV lounge with deck access, while a third suite feels like a tree-top escape with its own bathroom and walk-in closet. A garage and private driveway parking are rare amenities in this close-to-everything location. This home is located in the Witherspoon Jackson historical district.
