About this home
Tucked away on nearly four serene acres, 42 Carter Road offers the perfect balance of privacy, sophistication, and convenience. Set along a private lane off Carter Road, this extraordinary estate is just minutes from top-tier private and Ivy League schools, McCarter Theatre, and Princeton’s vibrant downtown.
This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence combines comfort, space, and timeless style. A long private drive leads to the grand entryway, where a dramatic double staircase makes a striking first impression. Inside, the home features multiple living areas—including a formal dining room, sitting room, family room, office, and den—providing both elegance and flexibility for everyday living. The expansive 25' x 14' kitchen with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, and a welcoming breakfast area complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a large closet and en-suite bath.
The finished lower level extends the living space with a recreation room, wine cellar, spacious laundry room, and abundant unfinished storage. Outdoors, the property feels like a private resort with its in-ground pool, tennis court, lush gardens, and multiple areas for entertaining. A large detached garage offers generous room for vehicles, hobbies, or additional storage. For added comfort, a Generac whole-house generator ensures uninterrupted power during storms or outages.
Meticulously maintained inside and out, 42 Carter Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle in one of the area’s most sought-after locations—where privacy, elegance, and convenience come together seamlessly.
