Winding up the driveway with flowering branches reaching across a babbling stream below, itâs easy to mistake the Max Hayden-designed home coming into view for a rambling 18th century farmhouse. With a wraparound mahogany porch and a big bluestone patio rimmed with boxwoods, it may even conjure notions of a boutique country inn. The house, in fact, was custom built in 2011 and is perfectly suited for the casualness of everyday modern life with plentiful space for even the largest household. A multi-room suite atop the back staircase, a finished walk-out basement and an office with its own entrance and porch are just the types of amenities that cater to todayâs needs. Hardwood floors, traditional molding and a bevy of beautiful divided-light windows bestow the whole interior with timeless elegance and ample natural light. The family room is especially inviting thanks to French doors and an uninterrupted openness shared with the kitchen. Island seating, a wide breakfast bay and pro-sized appliances mean there is room for everyone, whether they are eating or helping. Many spaces, like the formal dining room featuring custom millwork and a handsome fireplace, were just painted in soft, contemporary colors. The private spaces upstairs are thoughtfully laid out to give extra privacy to the expansive main suite with a lavish bath and spa shower included. No bedroom is lacking in space, style or storage, and an au pair or extended stay guests will especially love the adaptability and quietude of the rear suite. Donât miss the dormered top floor, which, with its own full bath, is a charming spot for a bunk room, or the refreshed home gym tucked past the walkout basement recreation and media areas, all served by a full bath. Additional features include a security system, an irrigation system covering the entire lawn and all plantings as well as a Sonos surround system in the family room, kitchen, patio, and basement. With a scenic locale, convenience to town and schools and enduring traditional beauty, this Princeton property is in a class of its own. Only 3 miles to Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyondâ¦come see!
