About This Property

Set well back from the road behind a lush curtain of trees, 38 Carter Road offers both privacy and proximity—an extraordinary retreat just minutes from downtown Princeton. This fully updated residence sits on 1.45 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds and has been reimagined from top to bottom to meet the expectations of today’s modern lifestyle. Step through contemporary five-lite double doors and you’ll immediately sense this home is anything but ordinary. Sunlight pours into the open-concept living and dining rooms, where crisp white walls, hardwood floors, and oversized windows set a fresh, inviting tone. A striking raised-hearth wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the space, making it equally suited for intimate evenings or lively entertaining. In the heart of the home, the showstopping kitchen is designed with both form and function in mind. Quartz countertops, an 8-foot waterfall center island with seating, and a wall of windows frame the views of the professionally landscaped yard. The GE Café appliance package in matte white includes a gas range with six burners, a double wall oven, and a French door refrigerator with a dual dispense auto-fill pitcher—delivering chilled water on demand while maintaining the sleek aesthetic. The sunny breakfast area sits beneath dual skylights and is surrounded by windows, creating a dreamy spot to start your day. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, completing the circular main-level floor plan. This spacious and comfortable room features a second wood-burning fireplace and expansive windows overlooking the front lawn. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary.With a dedicated sitting area, the room feels both luxurious and serene—an ideal spot for reading, relaxing, or quiet morning coffee. The en suite marble bath is a spa-worthy haven, with an oversized glass-enclosed shower with bench, a dual-sink vanity, and a smart tankless toilet with heated seat, bidet, and remote control. An integrated lighting heated mirror adds a touch of high-tech glamour. The hall bath, equally elegant, includes the same mirror and smart toilet, and serves three additional bedrooms—one of which connects to a large bonus room, ideal for guests, hobbies, or play. Throughout the home, every detail has been carefully considered, right down to the champagne gold hardware with concealed screws on the doors. The fully fenced backyard is lifestyle-oriented and ready for fun and relaxation, with an in-ground pool and paver patio that make entertaining a breeze. And while the finishes shine, the home’s infrastructure is equally impressive. A Generac whole-house generator provides peace of mind, as do the new HVAC system (2025) and septic system (2025). The full unfinished basement handles all your storage needs with ease, and a two-car side-entry garage completes the package. This is a home where you can truly have it all—just a short drive from Princeton’s world-class dining, cultural venues, and charm, but with every reason to stay in and enjoy the lifestyle you’ve created.
