Princeton, NJ 08540 70 Heather Lane

Mid-century modern enthusiasts and anyone looking to put their own spin on something out-of-the-ordinary will see the value of this striking home positioned way up high on a 1.59-acre lot. The house is designed in the style of Princeton-trained architect Thaddeus Longstreth, who designed buildings for The Institute for Advanced Study and collaborated on the famous Kaufman House in Palm Springs. Beamed ceilings and huge windows look out over the property and make the broad patio feel fully incorporated into everyday life. An open staircase in the atrium-like entry draws you up to the main level great room. The clever reverse floor plan allows everyone to experience the broad grid of windows while gathered at the dining table or around the fireplace set into a brick wall. The den offers the same level of drama on a more intimate scale. The sunny eat-in kitchen, as large as those found in homes built today, opens out to the pool-side patio. In addition to a well-placed powder room, three full baths serve four lower level bedrooms, plus a bonus game room and office. This property, offered as-is, can once again be a stunning modern residence, complete with a sun-soaked pool and taking advantage of the spectacular hilltop site, just 3.5 miles from downtown Princeton.
