954 Kingston Rd, PRINCETON

An authentic Princeton farmhouse directly across from Carnegie Lake has been elevated and enlarged to meet every modern need, including working from home and hosting guests in ultimate comfort, all while encouraging a healthy indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Multiple gardens and stone patios surround the crisply painted clapboard exterior, lined with French doors and nearly all new wood windows. A variety of native perennials attract pollinators, an organic kitchen garden inspires culinary creativity and a sprawling lawn beyond stacked stone walls is big enough for any sport or perhaps a future pool. The interior masterfully combines character, comfort and timeless style after a full renovation and major additions by Knight Architects, well-known for their finesse with historic homes. Original mantels still decorate the dining room and family rooms, where formal occasions and relaxed gatherings flow outdoors with ease. A butler's pantry bridges one family room, capped with a lofty ceiling, and the kitchen, designed for use by professional restaurateurs with a suite of Thermador appliances. A vintage cast iron sink and built-in hutch are practical reminders of the home’s beginnings, yet just around the corner, a custom mud entry and attached garage support a modern household’s busy lifestyle. More perks uncommon in a period home include a bright bonus room, already plumbed and big enough for both work and play, and a self-sufficient guest wing with every luxury imaginable. With a gas fireplace beneath a cathedral ceiling, a fully-equipped kitchen, a walk-in closet and laundry, your guests will want for nothing. Four upstairs bedrooms are generous in size, each with direct bath access. The extra-private primary suite has three closets and a rain shower in its period-inspired renovated bathroom. Another jack-and-jill bath is brand new with watery blue tile that calls to mind its lakeside location. With downtown Princeton only a mile away, this special property hidden behind a ring of mature trees has a refined country feel with urban convenience.
