Description

Evergreen trees and a privacy fence keep this whitewashed brick Cape in Princeton+GGs Western Section sheltered from view. Even as you reach the end of the freshly paved driveway, it+GGs hard to grasp the true scale of the elegant house and its secret garden-style yard. Picture windows frame the sun-dappled grounds in the living, dining and breakfast rooms. Built-ins are also abundant, especially in the family room, which flows right into a solarium, ideal for the year-round gardener or anyone whose mood is boosted by sunshine. The kitchen was renovated to stand the test of time with double ovens, two sinks and a big center island. There+GGs even more counter space at a separate bar and additional storage in a butler+GGs pantry around the corner! While overnight guests will love the spotless first floor bedroom suite, an unexpectedly roomy in-law wing with a fireplace, cathedral ceiling, kitchen and private patio will please those staying for longer stretches. If working from home is your new normal, this breezeway-connected area could be your weekday haven of quietude and inspiration. Or choose the charming room tucked under the eaves atop the back stairs. A hall bath serving 2 pretty bedrooms is classically updated, while the main suite offers 2 walk-in closets, a large white tiled bath and a window seat overlooking the gorgeous yard. Upper level laundry and a generator are some of the modern considerations found at this positively enchanting in-town home.
