Conveniently located near Princeton and Lawrence Village, this midcentury modern gem has been transformed by two expansive additions whose massive windows look out over more than an acre of property. Beyond the sunny yellow front door, the entry provides access to two living spaces. In the first, a galley-style kitchen combines white cabinetry and counters with black appliances and an antique, rustic breakfast bar. The kitchen leads to a dining area that includes a wall of built-in storage and sliding glass doors which open to an all-glass, sky-lit garden room with a wet bar. A commanding stone fireplace establishes the focus of the living room, where sliding glass doors lead onto a back deck that overlooks the fenced yard and the woods of the park beyond. The second living space provides a spectacular combination: a sitting/dining area with further access to the deck, and a balcony library that overlooks the spacious family room, which is anchored by another fireplace, and flooded with light from the double height windows. Along the rear wall, more bookcases can display collectibles, and sliders lead to the quiet and private back yard. In the bedroom wing, an extraordinary master suite includes an ensuite bath and dressing area with a vanity and many closets. But that’s just the beginning: a spiral stair leads to a large private room on the lower level—perfect for an office, gym, or studio, and big enough or all three. The additional bedrooms share a bathroom whose midcentury origins have been carefully preserved. To complete the living space there is a main floor laundry and a half bath. There is a partially full basement for storage and an attached one-bay garage with interior access. While the deck and garden room provide perfect sites for a quiet cup of coffee, the home as a whole is ideal for entertaining friends and family. The fenced yard includes private access to parkland—Mercer Meadows and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail—which makes this property feel like it goes on forever. This is an opportunity to own an utterly unique home—midcentury modern transformed into a contemporary showcase, set along a nature preserve.
