On one of the quieter Western Section streets, where grand architecture meets leafy sidewalks and town is just steps away, this exceptional turn-of-the-century Center Hall Colonial combines extraordinary proportions and original character with a beautifully executed 2023 renovation. Modifications by architect Max Hayden and decorator-chosen finishes add a sophisticated sensibility throughout, while huge windows, high ceilings, gorgeous wood floors and six fireplaces lend a sense of scale and historic gravitas, from the gracious foyer to the airy third level. Pocket doors separate the formal rooms, including a beautifully wallpapered dining room with space for everyone. A deeply hued study feels wonderfully enveloping, whether the day calls for working from home or watching a movie. The palatial family room is especially enchanting with graceful arched windows, niches and doorways flowing into a sunroom with a built-in fountain. The expansive eat-in kitchen, with corner windows and French doors to the deck, is ready for serious gourmands thanks to a pro-sized Thermador range and wine fridge. Upstairs, a newly created office and custom laundry room join three generous bedroom suites, including two that could easily claim primary status. One features transom-topped double doors, a massive walk-in closet and a bath with a deep soaking tub. The other offers custom mirrored storage outside a dreamy marble bathroom. The third floor adds two more bedrooms, a hang-out space tucked beneath the eaves and another fresh new bath enlivened with ocean-blue tile. And finally, an unexpected bit of history is hidden below the polished main level - a basement speak-easy with its own fireplace and real trap door. Outside, a front garden designed by Ronny Hock has become a profusion of blooms and butterflies, while the private backyard offers a quiet counterpoint. A newly built two-car garage completes the package. Incredible architecture, gracious proportions, thoughtful designer updates and an unmatched in-town location make this a truly special Princeton home.

Set on a quiet block in Princeton’s storied Western Section, just at the edge of downtown, this enchanting English manor is the house everyone seems to point out as their very favorite. It has only been sold twice since originally being built in 1924 for philanthropist and mayor, Charles Erdman. The current owners have taken great pride in sensitively updating almost every space - from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the basement - while maintaining the original exterior charm, complete with new custom windows. Due to its exceptional collection of original details, including refurbished hardware, intricate moldings and multiple French doors, the home served as the grand finale of the Princeton Historical Society’s 2021 house tour. The main level is especially gracious with fireplaces and built-ins in both the living room (an original addition designed by Rolf Bauhan) and library, served by an intimate bar. The elegant dining room was created from the former garage, and architect Max Hayden cleverly repurposed the original carriage-style doors fitted with Roebling hardware as a focal point of the heated loggia. Sunlight from two sets of French doors brightens a corner banquette, a suite of Viking appliances and expansive quartz-topped counter space in the kitchen, renovated 2019. One of six bedrooms, the spectacular primary suite was reconfigured to include a sitting room, a custom dressing room lined with mirrored cabinetry, a richly paneled walk-in closet and a timeless bath dressed in marble and nickel. Off the main staircase, a charming bedroom features a delightful window seat and convenient access to a dedicated bath, while an additional en-suite bedroom offers a comfortable retreat, with the laundry area just around the corner. Two bedrooms tucked atop the secondary staircase offer wonderful privacy - one currently serving as an office and the other as a fitness studio. Don’t forget the third floor either, a spacious suite with custom storage, making an ideal out of the way retreat. The basement now offers finished space for games and media, complete with its own half bath. Outside, redesigned flower beds and stone walls separate tiered lawns that incorporate a putting green and hidden hot tub. Even the slate roofed garage and stone-accented mudroom are undeniably charming, fulfilling the hopeful visions of every admiring passer-by. All of this lives less than a quarter mile from Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyond.

On a corner lot in the heart of the famous Western Section, a mere half-mile from bustling downtown and Princeton University's world-class campus, astonishing artistry and a fascinating history combine for a home like no other. As refined as it appears from the courtyard entry, it only gets more impressive as you continue through the array of rooms discovering storied mantelpieces, carved woodwork and imported fixtures along the way. The deep grounds also never fail to surprise and delight all who are lucky enough to spend a day relaxing by the Roman-style pool or dining on the stone terrace. The lawn and formal garden have even hosted tented celebrations for hundreds with ease. The 1840 house welcomes you into the foyer, where a mural's softly colored tree branches reach toward an unusually high ceiling. The living room is large enough for a combination of seating areas or even billiards, as the current set-up shows. Pocket doors allow a view of the library's elaborately detailed woodwork while seated in the classically styled dining room. Plenty of sunshine and radiant heat keep the marble-clad family room from ever feeling chilly. New quartz countertops freshen up the crisp white kitchen with a wealth of storage around every turn. A breezeway connects the three-car garage and leads to a pool house like no other, where glass and crystal creations custom-made in Paris by the artisans of Lalique conjure a magical underwater fantasy world. Carved sea creatures whimsically watch over the gathering space served by a full kitchen, wine cellar and bathrooms worthy of Poseidon himself! Above, a playroom/gym provides plenty of space for healthy indoor recreation. The upper levels of the main house hold seven bedrooms served by five baths. The largest and airiest of those bedrooms radiate from the light-filled landing, along with an office beyond fanlight-topped pocket doors. The main suite has it all: dressing room, fireplace, marble bath, sunroom and a deck overlooking a trickling water feature and stunning trees that put on an autumnal show. This is your chance to leave your mark on one of the Western Section's finest showplaces. The property's tax assessment has been reduced.
