83 Ettl Cir

The only custom home in this prized Princeton neighborhood that offers a sophisticated take on modern luxury in an amenity-rich setting with completely renovated chef's kitchen and baths, finished basement with home theater, opulent primary suite with sitting area and dressing room and a private retreat of a backyard with a pool and pool house as the main attraction. Reaping the benefit of purchasing new construction before completion, the owners totally customized the home during the construction process, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in this prized Princeton neighborhood. A mahogany entry door opens to a two-story foyer where antique heart pine flooring milled from beams from Charleston, South Carolina begins, running throughout the main level. A home office is tucked behind French doors for work from home days, just across the foyer from the formal living and dining room where pocket doors slide to create a seamless opening between the two rooms. The home is replete with custom millwork, but the spectacular coffered ceiling in the dining room deserves special mention. The dining room is also home to a large China closet that makes place-setting for holidays and large gatherings easy. Close the French doors between the kitchen and the dining room for formal affairs, or leave them open and extend the gathering to the breakfast area where the table perfectly aligns with the dining room table. The kitchen was remodeled in 2014 and a large addition was added to the back of the house to accommodate this fabulous new space where no detail was overlooked, from the soft close pull out drawers in the custom cabinets, to the beverage station with a built-in water cooler cabinet, two beverage drawers and plenty of counter space for your favorite coffee and espresso maker. A center island features a marble counter, farmhouse sink and seating, in addition to housing two Miele dishwashers. An oversized, integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator blends in with the white cabinetry. The home chef will love the DCS range, two ovens and warming drawer. A walk-in pantry with California Closets organizers helps keep everything organized. A wall of sliding glass doors opens to the backyard resort which includes a tiered flagstone patio with built-in grill; and the most elegant pool and spa with flagstone patio surround; a Knight Architects designed pool house with a kitchenette, bathroom, shower and changing area with plenty of hooks to accommodate all of your guests' items. The easy access from kitchen to patio and pool facilitates gracious indoor/outdoor entertaining three seasons long. Mature evergreen privacy landscaping throughout the perimeter and many valuable specimen trees make this a true oasis. Adjacent to the kitchen, a two-story great room with a wall of windows overlooking the backyard features a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a Fanimation vertical rotation ceiling fan, and built-ins by Knight Architects with a wine fridge, ice maker, two pull-down bars and plenty of storage. Behind the back staircase, a hallway leads to the mud room with wash tub and storage bins and the laundry room. The second level hosts the primary suite with sitting area and large walk-in closet, a second en suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. All bathrooms have been remodeled. The finished basement is a self-contained entertaining space with a kitchenette, home theater, full bath and exercise room. Located just minutes from downtown Princeton and the University, shopping, dining and culture are at your fingertips. Located in the highly-rated Princeton Public Schools district, and close to some of the area’s finest private schools.
