luxury houses for sale Princeton, United States

No detail was overlooked and no luxury was denied at this impeccably kept home perched on 2 acres in one of Princeton’s most impressive neighborhoods. Wide stone steps and oversized gas lanterns create a welcoming entry, but it’s the resort-style backyard that makes everyone want to stay all day. Like a forest spring amid towering trees, water cascades into a free-form pool with built-in spa. Sliding into the saltwater is the most refreshing way to cool off after a spirited game on the turf sport court or just manning the grill on the walled stone patio. Thanks to a newly renovated lower level, complete with a full bar and a sophisticated open theater, the good times continue well after summer ends. High ceilings are a common feature throughout all levels and incredible moldings draw the eye up for full appreciation, especially in the dining room. Wide-open and well-equipped, the kitchen can handle multiple cooks and any menu with ease. Side-by-side Sub-Zeros, double ovens, dishwasher drawers and a Miele coffee station are just a few of the chef-approved features. Perhaps the most indispensable spot in the whole house is the perfectly planned mudroom with a dedicated place for everything and a second half bath. Every bedroom, all six of them, has an organized closet and a private bathroom. While the primary suite is expected to be a notch above, this one goes to all new heights! The sitting room features one of the home’s three gas fireplaces, the huge bathroom boasts radiant heat and a steam shower, and the larger of two walk-in closets has spiraling stairs to a second level. A generator and an irrigation system are some of the unseen extras that make life easier at this high-quality home.

Located in an enclave of just six homes, Old World-inspired architectural detail and all the lavish amenities one could desire are planned to perfection. This in-progress residence is ideal for the discerning buyer who dreams of owning a legacy property, yet values the assurance of new construction. Perhaps customizing final finishes to your individual taste is appealing, but starting from the ground up pushes the realization of your dream too far into the future. Step into this masterfully designed home on magnificent Players Lane and watch your vision unfold with the most cumbersome phases of construction already in the past. Spaces are impressively scaled, but never imposing, with jaw-dropping Lepage windows welcoming in light. Special touches that make an interior stand out are already prepped, like gracefully arched doorways, multiple gas fireplaces and even aquarium plumbing. The list of planned amenities is long and includes items expected from a home of this caliber: an elevator, a wine cellar, a bar, and so on. But an indoor pool with retractable doors and a sky-high cupola ceiling is beyond expectations, along with interior equipment for efficient pool heating complete with a separate entry to ease maintenance. Radiant heat and tanks for wall-mount toilets are in place for all 8 full baths and 4 half baths, including one with exterior access for service personnel. For the bibliophile, the house offers a library, separate from the home manager’s office on the main floor and an additional upper level office. Further upstairs bonus spaces include areas for quiet reflection and a crafts/homework room able to accommodate four desks. Garages for four cars are separated into pairs, ideal for prized vehicles that warrant extra protection. All interior design plans, architectural plans and landscape plans featuring multiple patios and a tennis court will be provided to the buyer and most materials for the completion of the exterior are already on site. Your dream home is well underway and the good life is closer than you ever imagined!

With an enthralling narrative that goes back to the Revolutionary era and enchanting grounds that include two lots with a rare timber-frame barn, this stately home is a significant part of Princeton’s rich history. Charles Steadman, the prolific architect who transformed both the town and university with his signature Greek Revival style, began with a modest 18th century dwelling and created an elegant residence with high ceilings, carved marble fireplaces, grand pocket doors and all the exceptional millwork one would expect from an interior of this caliber. What may come as a surprise is the beautiful condition of these features, including original floors, and the overall livability of the comfortable rooms. Even the basement is as welcoming as it is functional with a fireplace-accented office and a rec space with built-ins and brick floors. Tucked away on the main floor, a tavern-like room clearly marks the oldest section of the home with a cooking fireplace, a beamed ceiling and even a handy half-bath. A little covered patio draped in wisteria opens to the yard, as does the sunny kitchen addition. A breakfast room lined with windows and storage is a casual alternative to the banquet-sized dining room. Outdoor entertaining is another appealing option with a stone terrace overlooking a sweep of lawn studded with majestic trees, the site of more than one happy wedding celebration. The home’s second level includes four spacious bedrooms with more tall ceilings, plentiful windows and handsome fireplaces. Three of them have adjoining baths. The top floor is a charming hideaway with a fifth bedroom and fourth full bath, along with valuable cedar-lined storage. Of course, the picturesque barn has all the storage you could ever need and potential to be so much more! Come experience the magic of this historic property for yourself and learn more about its fascinating past.

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. The family room is especially inviting thanks to French doors and an uninterrupted openness shared with the kitchen. 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. No bedroom is lacking in space, style or storage, and an au pair or extended stay guests will especially love the adaptability and quietude of the rear suite. Don’t miss the dormered top floor, which, with its own full bath, is a charming spot for a bunk room, or the refreshed home gym tucked past the walkout basement recreation and media areas, all served by a full bath. 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!

This boldly designed home is a surprising find, the result of an impressive renovation and expansion. Every corner showcases a thoughtful infusion of luxury and urbane chic that you’d never guess from the road. The family room addition, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and views, features industrial floating shelving that adds a touch of steely flair. The kitchen is the culinary answer to perfection, boasting top-of-the-line finishes and appliances, including a Subzero fridge, dual Thermador ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Gaggenau cooktop. A fireplace in the breakfast room will encourage cozy gatherings, adding a touch of intimacy to the space. The dining room exudes the grandeur of days gone by with its ample size and ability to host dinners of practically any size. Meanwhile, the fireside living room offers a space where uninterrupted views of the canal provide a picturesque backdrop for moments of relaxation. Above, within the addition, the main suite features eye-catching walls of closets and a luxe en suite bathroom. Here, an oversized shower, radiant floors, and a transom-topped mirror provide a spa-like ambiance. Three additional bedrooms and two more bathrooms complete the upstairs. Beyond the house, this peaceful property has multiple outbuildings. One could be an ideal space for a studio or home office, complete with heating, cooling, and a half bath. Two others provide shelter for machinery and cars, while a gardener's shed adds functionality to the picturesque landscape. Surrounded by flowering trees, plants, and shrubs and backing up to a rolling green meadow, this home is a sanctuary where scenic vistas and fragrant breezes converge.

This artfully designed contemporary home conveniently situated on what may be the quietest street in all of Princeton Ridge has a hidden-in-the-woods feel. The property is a manageable 1.5 acres, but the natural privacy provided by a canopy of mature trees and unspoiled surroundings imparts a sense of boundlessness. Listening to the birds while sitting in the screened gazebo beneath the breeze of a ceiling fan or watching sunlight filter through the leaves while relaxing on the balcony are magical moments. A covered brick walkway lined with storage connects the roomy garage to the hand-carved mahogany front door, a hint at all the special touches to come. Cedar walls, exposed brick and imported design elements add one-of-a-kind warmth to the whole interior. Past the foyer’s powder room and office, the house opens up with a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. A double-sided brick fireplace pairs perfectly with pegged oak floors and delineates the living and dining rooms. Hand-painted Mexican Talavera tiles liven up a bar alcove, as well as the efficiently laid out kitchen. In the nearby sunroom, an ingenious recycling station makes it just a little easier to live responsibly. You’ll be delighted to discover more Talavera tile adding lively color to the skylit bathrooms upstairs. Of the four total bedrooms, three open to the balcony, while the primary also boasts a fireplace, sky-high clerestory windows and a dressing area. For the hobbyist, artist or fitness enthusiast, a separate workshop/studio with double glass sliders is an ideal refuge.

Holding pride of place atop a gentle hill in a quiet corner of Princeton, a custom-built home stands on a larger-than-usual lot that encourages everyone to get out and live life in the fresh air.

The bathrooms are all done in marble with the main bath being the largest and most luxurious.

Currently serviced by a septic system, there's the potential for sewer line access across the Great Rd, albeit requiring an easement, which the seller is willing to consider (at the buyer’s sole expense).

If you're ready to embark on a journey of renovation and expansion in a truly remarkable setting, schedule your appointment today.

Leave all expectations behind when you come to this imaginatively designed modern home discreetly nestled into Princeton’s Western Section. What appears to be a cozy mahogany-clad house tucked behind stone garden walls is revealed to be a dramatic 2-story modern barn with soaring wood ceilings, expansive windows and a massive 2-sided stone fireplace defining an otherwise wide-open floor plan. The grounds, too, offer so much more than initially meets the eye with a stone terrace with integrated spa overlooking a rolling lawn dotted with impressive trees and a heated gunite pool. The elite team of Lucash Montgomery and A+B Design Lab are responsible for the concept and build of the barn-like structure as well as transforming the pre-existing mid-century home to blend with the new construction.

The kitchen functions like a Michelin-star restaurant with a workhorse Wolf range, full-size Sub-Zeros and an ingeniously designed marble-topped island with a multi-functional trough running down the middle.
