Property Description

Proud to represent the family of this one of a kind Princeton home! Situated on approximately 14.5 acres on East Thompson Street, this Estate has a unique combination of a charming home, vintage barn, guest quarters, inground pool and approximately 12 acres of prime farm ground. It's all presented in such a classic way, with a white vinyl two rail fence outlining the manicured yard. Just the right combination of a stately look yet not overbearing....simply saying come spend a week or a lifetime here......welcome home! The main residence has been tastefully updated with a large addition completed in 1991. The main level has wide plank flooring, giving the home a elegant country feel. My favorite room is the Southern facing sun room that is over 47 feet long ......and the spectacular view is attributed to the vast thermal windows and French doors that look out to the farm land. A adjoining open floor plan kitchen also shares this same look....plenty of natural light makes the cherry kitchen cabinetry come to life.....combine the solid surface countertops, work island, built in hutches and a adjoining library with a beautiful gas fireplace.....The WOW effect includes natural woodwork, crown moldings, nine foot tall ceilings, lots of built ins, a second kitchenette, that I would call a snack and beverage room ready to serve hungry guests. There is so much more on the main level, a living room and a den. If guest arrive at the front door, they will be greeted by a period correct sweeping front porch that was recently rebuilt using narrow composite porch flooring that looks like real wood. Lets not forget the front foyer that hosts an open staircase to the second level. The magic of this home continues as you tour the second level bedrooms, the primary owners suite, private bathroom with walk in shower , jetted tub his and hers walk in closets and a stackable washer and dryer. The third level has more surprises with a 18 by 20 foot bedroom and a separate 18 by 25 living room.....enough space for all the extended family to spend a week or a lifetime. The home has all the proper mechanicals to efficiently heat and cool the different levels.....this is not a home that had random additions tacked on, the thought and planning is evident as everything flows seamlessly, from the full basement with its own outside access to the third level living quarters. The vintage barn still has the stall where the owners horse would be fed and housed. This same building has a second level guest quarters along with a first level pool house with a full bath, mini kitchen and a beverage fridge. The in ground pool has been maintained with new mechanicals added in 2025 and 2026 that includes a new gas pool heater and a new pump/ filter system. The concrete patio that overlooks the pool faces South, offering a beautiful view of the nearby fields and taking advantage of the warm sunshine to extend the pools season. There is so much more to see and experience. We ask that all potential buyers are pre qualified and please remove your shoes. Please note there are additional rooms that are not individually listed that are reading areas, additional living areas, a neat beverage room as I describe it. This property really is a one of a kind given the homes details, quality finishes, location, additional farmland and just the feel of the interior....all making you feel welcomed.
