Description
Set back from the road and enveloped by mature trees, 706 Kingston Road in Princeton is a historic gem that beautifully marries timeless architectural details with modern comforts. As you approach, the grandeur of the 12-foot front door captures your attention, leading into a quaint entryway adorned with a handpainted wall - just the first of many along with other thoughtful details found throughout this lovingly cared-for home. The great room is a testament to the home's rich history, featuring original decorative ceiling molding, crown molding, and a wall lined with built-in bookcases. A spectacular 12-foot window overlooking the front porch floods the room with natural light. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with a SubZero refrigerator, Electrolux 6-burner gas range, granite counters, and a butcher block center island. Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile butler's pantry, currently used as a work-from-home space, seamlessly connects to the dining room. Here, more built-in bookcases frame the room, creating an elegant setting for a grand table capable of seating a crowd. Adjoining the dining room, a sunny family room with window seats overlooking the backyard provides a cozy retreat. Built-in cabinets offer ample storage, and French doors open onto a charming side porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
