About This Property

Tucked at the end of a winding, tree-lined drive into Princeton's coveted Ettl Farm, this elegant Colonial combines timeless architecture with exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and beautifully designed spaces for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A dramatic two-story foyer with a sweeping curved staircase sets the tone, opening to a stunning two-story living room centered around a fireplace. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into the expansive kitchen, featuring a center island, breakfast bar, and sun-filled breakfast room wrapped in three walls of windows overlooking the fenced backyard and sparkling pool. The kitchen and breakfast room open to the inviting family room with a second fireplace and rear staircase to the second level, while an adjoining private study provides the perfect home office. Two powder rooms complete the thoughtfully designed first floor—one conveniently located near the main entertaining spaces and the other serving the pool and backyard. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a tray-ceiling bedroom, sitting room, updated spa-like bath, dual walk-in closets, and a sunlit private office surrounded by three walls of windows beneath a vaulted ceiling, creating an airy retreat with spectacular backyard views. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath with dual sinks, while a fourth gracious size bedroom enjoys its own updated ensuite bath. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a fourth full bath, generous recreation and fitness space, an additional work area, two finished storage rooms, and ample unfinished space for future expansion. Outside, a three-car side-entry garage is enhanced by a paver driveway in the front and a patio in the back with an electric awning, overlooking the pool and spa creating the ideal setting for everyday enjoyment and effortless entertaining. Backing to preserved open space within the community, the property is bathed in sunlight throughout the day and offers rare, unobstructed views of the night sky—perfect for peaceful evenings and stargazing from your own backyard. Located in the highly regarded Johnson Park School District, this exceptional home is just minutes from downtown Princeton and Princeton University, where charming boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, cafe's, bakeries, theater, library, and a vibrant arts scene create an exceptional lifestyle.
