Winding up the driveway with flowering branches reaching across a babbling stream below, it’s easy to mistake the Max Hayden-designed home coming into view for a rambling 18th century farmhouse. With a wraparound mahogany porch and a big bluestone patio rimmed with boxwoods, it may even conjure notions of a boutique country inn. The house, in fact, was custom built in 2011 and is perfectly suited for the casualness of everyday modern life with plentiful space for even the largest household. A multi-room suite atop the back staircase, a finished walk-out basement and an office with its own entrance and porch are just the types of amenities that cater to today’s needs. Hardwood floors, traditional molding and a bevy of beautiful divided-light windows bestow the whole interior with timeless elegance and ample natural light. Island seating, a wide breakfast bay and pro-sized appliances mean there is room for everyone, whether they are eating or helping. Many spaces, like the formal dining room featuring custom millwork and a handsome fireplace, were just painted in soft, contemporary colors. The private spaces upstairs are thoughtfully laid out to give extra privacy to the expansive main suite with a lavish bath and spa shower included. With a scenic locale, convenience to town and schools and enduring traditional beauty, this Princeton property is in a class of its own. Only 3 miles to Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyond...come see!
