Evergreen trees and a privacy fence keep this whitewashed brick Cape in Princeton’s Western Section sheltered from view. Even as you reach the end of the freshly paved driveway, it’s hard to grasp the true scale of the elegant house and its secret garden-style yard. Picture windows frame the sun-dappled grounds in the living, dining and breakfast rooms. Built-ins are also abundant, especially in the family room, which flows right into a solarium, ideal for the year-round gardener or anyone whose mood is boosted by sunshine. The kitchen was renovated to stand the test of time with double ovens, two sinks and a big center island. There’s even more counter space at a separate bar and additional storage in a butler’s pantry around the corner! While overnight guests will love the spotless first floor bedroom suite, an unexpectedly roomy in-law wing with a fireplace, cathedral ceiling, kitchen and private patio will please those staying for longer stretches. If working from home is your new normal, this breezeway-connected area could be your weekday haven of quietude and inspiration. Or choose the charming room tucked under the eaves atop the back stairs. A hall bath serving 2 pretty bedrooms is classically updated, while the main suite offers 2 walk-in closets, a large white tiled bath and a window seat overlooking the gorgeous yard. Upper level laundry and a generator are some of the modern considerations found at this positively enchanting in-town home.
