193 ELM RD Princeton, NJ 08540

While driving wide-eyed past a long stretch of Princeton's most extraordinary homes, you may actually miss this remarkable Tudor, as it is shielded by a variety of majestic trees that cloak the front courtyard in lush green privacy. Once inside, you'll be pleased to discover a meticulously planned addition by architect Max Hayden and strategically redesigned rooms, ensuring this Western Section residence lives up to its prestigious address. A large, light-filled, laidback family room, a completely custom-crafted kitchen and grandly appointed entertaining spaces embrace an expansive stone terrace, the centerpiece of the acre+ property. Magnolia, dogwood and apple trees, as well as countless mature evergreens, create a completely hidden in-town oasis, an unexpected sanctum that feels worlds away. The home is extensively renovated, yet a deep appreciation for the romance of English Tudor style guided all choices. Original woodwork was painstakingly restored, such as fantastically carved mantels accentuating oversized fireplaces, while newer elements, like bathroom vanities, were designed to echo the lines of existing arched doorways. Even the kitchen, a modern host's dream with double dishwashers and ovens, repeats the motif. While this house can easily accommodate your entire guest list, there are spots to curl up with a book, enjoy time with loved ones, or work quietly alone. Two multi-room main suites with magazine-worthy baths and dressing rooms offer owners a choice of sizes and styles or allow in-laws to live as luxuriously as they please. There are 7 bedrooms in total served by 6 bathrooms, some with original tiling in period colors. Two upstairs laundry rooms, ample closets throughout and a finished basement are just some of the many amenities that align with modern needs. No corners were cut and no inch was overlooked in the complete reinvention of this storied property!
