About this home
Single Family · Built 1836 · Historic
This noble 1836 Colonial represents a proud Princeton legacy of architecture and history. One of Charles Steadman's more gracious designs, it was moved to its present Western Section location in 1889 and purchased by Woodrow Wilson. Original oak and pine floors, 7 fireplaces and beautifully detailed moldings, all in exceptional condition, are now accompanied by desirable modern amenities, such as a wine cellar, sauna and renovated chef's kitchen. The double living room with adjoining sunroom is most impressive and gloriously bright, while a wood paneled library offers cozy privacy with a fireplace edged in Moravian tile. Glass-front cabinetry and glazed white tile are period appropriate finishes in the gleaming kitchen, which opens to the dining room and a mudroom. Four bedrooms include the large master with barrel vaulted marble bath and dressing room for 2. The top floor has plenty of space for guests, play and storage. Outside, below the terrace, rose arbors lead through a formal garden to a 2-car garage.
