About the Listing 61057 - 3170051

Steeped in Princeton University history, this exceptional 1910 stone Dutch Colonial Craftsman – once home to renowned philosopher Thomas Kuhn – offers an opportunity to own a fully reimagined in-town estate. Thoughtfully enhanced with modern conveniences over the past year, the home now presents with an even greater sense of polish, livability, and ease. Set on a cul-de-sac on one of Princeton’s most desirable streets, the residence seamlessly blends architectural heritage with modern refinement. Original chestnut and mahogany woodwork, high ceilings, French doors, and beautifully preserved floors create a rich backdrop for contemporary living. The main level is both elegant and flexible. A gracious front parlor – historically used to host visiting scholars – can serve equally well as a formal dining room, music salon, or private office. The renovated kitchen and butler’s pantry remain the heart of the home, outfitted with marble surfaces, premium cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a farmhouse sink, all opening naturally to spaces designed for gathering and entertaining. A collector's library with a rolling ladder, perhaps the home's most evocative space, anchors the expansive family room, where an elegant fireplace, built-in seating and an original table from Princeton's Firestone Library overlooks the gardens.The dining room, equally inviting, connects effortlessly to a covered terrace and stone patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience ideal for hosting. Upstairs, five/six generously sized bedrooms and three updated baths include a serene primary suite with dressing area and flexible adjoining room. A private balcony off one bedroom adds a rare architectural flourish. Additional features include a walk-up attic, full basement, central air, zoned heating, and a detached two-car garage with ample off-street parking — an uncommon luxury in this location. Just moments from Princeton University, McCarter Theater, and the town’s finest dining and cultural offerings, this distinguished residence of enduring character, where heritage, comfort, and convenience come together perfectly, is now offered with immediate availability for its next discerning owner.
