Home Details

Set within the architecturally distinguished Governors Lane communitythoughtfully inspired by Thomas Jefferson and the timeless design principles of University of Virginiathis elegant Georgian townhome offers an exceptional blend of classical proportions and sophisticated modern luxury, all just moments from downtown Princeton, shopping, dining, and the University. Spanning three beautifully finished levels with hardwood flooring throughout, the residence has been meticulously curated with extraordinary materials and bespoke craftsmanship. The chefs Kitchen is a true showpiece featuring premium Smallbone of Devizes cabinetry handcrafted from American Black Walnut, a 48" dual-fuel Wolf range with custom 46" hood, polished black granite island, recessed lighting, and a dramatic statement chandelier creating both warmth and architectural presence. The second level is devoted to luxurious private living spaces, anchored by a spacious Primary Suite with fireplace, a stunning fully renovated Bath with frameless glass walk-in shower featuring rainfall and handheld systems, marble flooring and countertops, double vessel-sink vanity, and an exceptional custom walk-in closet with finely crafted built-ins, recessed lighting, and display spotlights. A second ensuite bedroom with generous closet space completes this level. The upper floor offers two additional spacious bedrooms, a beautifully appointed hall bath with stall shower, and two large walk-in closets with custom organizational systems. Designed equally for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the fully finished lower level is where the home truly comes alive. A private home theatre with ceiling-mounted projector, integrated speakers, and recessed lighting creates the ultimate cinematic experience, while additional flexible space with custom cabinetry and countertops is ideal for a home office, studio, or creative workspace. A dedicated wine storage closet offers the perfect setting for prized vintages, and the laundry area is conveniently located on this level as well. Just off the Kitchen, the private garden patio provides a serene outdoor retreat for dining, grilling, or quiet relaxation. A detached two-car garage with side entrance and automatic opener is ideally positioned adjacent to the garden. Quietly tucked within one of Princetons most admired in-town communities, yet only minutes to Nassau Street, Palmer Square, and Princeton University, this extraordinary residence offers refined living in an unparalleled location.
