Built in 1772 by a Dutch farmer and used as a homestead during George Washington's occupation of Princeton, "The Bouwerie" is an iconic tapestry of past and present. Its thorough and thoughtful renovation in 1991 resulted not only in the valuable preservation of local history, but also one of the most extraordinary homes in Princeton. Meticulous attention was paid to the preservation of original details: hand-hewn beams, pine flooring, a walk-in Beehive fireplace, stone steps leading to a study and half bath that once housed horses, and a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by period Delft tiles. Reclaimed white-pine and heart-pine flooring, as well as interior and exterior beaded and dentil moldings were employed throughout the new addition to complement the authentic 1700's detailing. Entering through the front door of the home's new addition, one's eye is immediately drawn up to a stunning, artistic stained-glass skylight... Outside, a large BBQ patio area overlooks a pond, while an in-ground hot tub and a 52-foot oval pool with vanishing edge look over a spectacular English knot garden. A wooded path follows a burbling tributary stream from the pond and leads to Stony Brook. In the aesthetic spirit of the original home, the garage was expanded to accommodate four cars and an upper-level office or apartment.
