About this home
A variety of incredible gardens and a choice of captivating spots that invite you to slow down and appreciate the wonders of nature spread out behind a historically significant Princeton home, all hidden behind a screen of green plantings. As part of the Stony Brook Quaker Settlement, the 1.5-acre property extends all the way down to the water’s edge and the circa 1750 house is filled with authentic details, like wide-plank pumpkin
pine floors and an original cooking fireplace, now fitted with a pellet stove. Spectacular sunlight pours into the living room, brightened at night by recessed lighting and warmed by a second cast iron stove, this one wood-burning. The dining room offers tons of storage flanking a deep built-in buffet. Solid wood paneling amplifies the cozy atmosphere of some rooms, including the roomy kitchen equipped with a brand new
dishwasher and oven. A corner room hosting the laundry and a half bath offers first floor flexibility. Upstairs, two full baths serve a trio of charming bedrooms, including the primary suite with a cedar closet and two rooms that share a bonus space, perfect for study or play. While the sunny, neutral interior is sure to leave you smitten, it’s the grounds that really wow! A fruit orchard, a grape arbor, a vegetable garden - all organic
- foster a healthy connection to the land, while a clay pizza oven and pergola-shaded patio encourage entertaining amid multiple sculptures by artist Robert Cannon and a pretty pond, complete with a fountain. Majestic old growth trees add to the mystique and parking for 4+ cars is a practical asset....
