1.8 Acres in Princeton, NJ - $1,050,000

The refreshed kitchen is period-appropriate, yet user-friendly, with loads of storage thanks to a butler's pantry and granite-topped center island. Quite uncommon for an anti...
The lovely 1.8-acre property known as Wyndemere is nestled beside the parkland of the D&R Canal with a trail leading right to a little inlet. Kayak, fish, stroll the towpath and then head home to your private paradise, where a huge lawn with a charming greenhouse spreads out behind a classic white Colonial with roots going back to the early 19th century. From the circular driveway, follow the stone walk to a beautifully detailed foyer with a sunburst pattern laid into the hardwood. Flooring throughout, much of it original, is in remarkable condition and gathering rooms are surprisingly spacious, especially the family room featuring an eye-catching marble mantle and a broad bowed window overlooking the stone terrace. The refreshed kitchen is period-appropriate, yet user-friendly, with loads of storage thanks to a butler's pantry and granite-topped center island. Quite uncommon for an antique home, this 5-bedroom house has the option of a first floor main suite, complete with a fireplace, walk-in closet and outdoor access. The private half bath is already plumbed and ready for a shower. Upstairs, where tall doors were brought back to their natural beauty, the largest bedroom has one of 3 full baths ensuite and a study leads up to the finished third floor. A red, barn-style garage with loft completes this idyllic West Windsor offering that deftly straddles the line between country escape and edge-of-Princeton convenience.
