About This Property

Iconic Princeton Estate Offers Gatsby-Era Elegance! This extraordinary Princeton estate evokes the grandeur and grace of a bygone era, offering a rare combination of architectural refinement, expansive scale, and complete privacy on over 17 acres backing to Stony Brook. Built in the 1930s, this classic brick home exceeds modern expectations with its elegant proportions and flowing layout, where handsomely detailed rooms unfold from a central hall with effortless sophistication. The floor plan spans three levels, plus a partially finished basement with a home theater, and includes 7+ bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms. The living room, with its soaring barrel-vault ceiling, opens directly to the pool and is large enough to host formal gatherings with the ambiance of a ballroom. The gourmet kitchen is equipped for serious entertaining, featuring dual islands, Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Wolf range and hood, two dishwashers, and a butler’s pantry with an additional dishwasher. A separate bar area includes an ice maker and half bath, while the adjacent family room and breakfast area open to a screened porch and bluestone patios overlooking lush, forested grounds. The primary suite offers dual dressing closets and a spacious bathroom, while a suite above the 3-car garage provides apartment-style accommodation with a bathroom. Another suite on the first floor serves as an ideal guest room away from the other bedrooms. The laundry room includes two washers and two dryers, supporting the needs of a large household. Throughout the home, inlay and wood floor medallions, steel windows, and detailed millwork reflect timeless craftsmanship, while updated amenities ensure comfortable modern living. The pool house includes a bathroom, enhancing the resort-style outdoor living experience. With no neighbors in sight and a location just two miles from downtown Princeton, this estate home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy classic manor living in one of New Jersey’s most desirable settings.
