34 ALLISON RD Princeton, NJ 08540

This breathtakingly bright Western Section home is proof that warm elegance and clean modernity can happily co-exist. Soft colors, custom finishes and an ingeniously designed new kitchen elevate the perfectly open interior to new heights, while serpentine garden beds and a new saltwater hot tub give the fenced backyard a worlds-away feel, when it is actually a mere half-mile from downtown and campus. The entire lot is impeccably landscaped and occupies a quiet corner of a private one-way lane. Homeowners enter through the spotlessly finished garage into an expanded stone floor mudroom, where back stairs lead up to a big bonus room that was finished by Baxter Construction for the sellers. The main living spaces are bathed in so much sunshine that automated exterior blinds join custom draperies by Amy Karyn to create the perfect level of filtered light. Custom stone subtly accents both gas and wood-burning fireplaces and beautiful artwork rises at the push of a button to reveal a high-tech entertainment system. But the streamlined kitchen by Tobias Design and Baxter stands out as the most impressive of all the recent improvements. A LaCornue range is the only visible appliance and it is a work of art! Custom-fitted cabinetry provides a place for everything, letting gorgeous marble countertops shine. The experts at Baxter also renovated 2 bathrooms, including one serving a first-floor guest room, which doubles as the powder room and the palatial primary bath with a spa tub and separate walk-in closets nearby. While a huge room in the basement is already finished, a secondary space is ideal as a future gym. In the past few years, the current owners even took on less glamorous projects, like replacing HVAC systems and adding a whole-house generator, to ensure maximum comfort for years and years to come! Amazingly enough, all of this exists within 6/10 of a mile from Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyond…come see!
