This just might be the most picturesque property in all of Princeton, with sculpted boxwoods accentuating a crisp white colonial perched atop a sun-dappled hill and a pond tucked among the trees below. The house was designed by Rolf Bauhan, the prolific architect responsible for many of the grand manor homes that define the western side of town, and then enhanced by Max Hayden, who has a gift for maximizing charm. The formal rooms follow tradition with French doors and paneled cupboards, while the generous kitchen has a sunroom-style breakfast area that brightens even the dreariest morning. Adjoining is a dramatically lofty family room with the functional features of a stone fireplace and built-ins. Just as useful, but totally discreet, an elevator beside the back staircase leads up to two pleasant bedrooms sharing a bath, plus a 3-room suite down the hall. Buffered by the library beyond a rugged stone wall, the larger primary suite enjoys unparalleled quietude on the main level. A walk-in closet, a 2-room skylit bath and yet another fireplace check all the boxes for a spacious, relaxing retreat. One more suite up on the third floor is as sunny as it is flexible. An attached 3-car garage offers ample storage, while a cloistered stone patio and a southern-style veranda are peaceful spots to savor the setting. For those who love racquet sports, socializing around the pool, and summer BBQs beneath the stars, Pretty Brook Tennis Club is right next door, accessible by a footpath.
