Live in one of the few remaining Princeton Junction properties that reflects its agricultural history. The former Holman farmstead has a stylish main residence, two adjacent rental units, barn and other unique features that have been lovingly owned by an architect for the last twenty-five years. Built in 1836, the main house retains its period charms but has been carefully restored to include the comforts and amenities expected with our modern lifestyle. Re-imagining the home included creating a first-floor primary bedroom suite with a working gas fireplace. An addition at the rear of the house was designed to embrace the stately trees, gardens and patio on this nearly two-acre property. It includes a contemporary kitchen plus a laundry room, large office and half bath. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious dining room for entertaining and large holiday sit-down dinners. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and bathroom. A finished attic space is perfect for quiet meditation or childs playroom.
Throughout the house you will note the thoughtful renovations to the original hardwood floors, solid plaster walls and moldings, chestnut staircase plus custom designed radiator covers. All windows were upgraded with energy efficient double-hung Pella glass and two-zone central air conditioning.
The propertys outbuildings have been renovated with an eye to modern living. A charming cottage is a studio apartment. Above the homeowners garage and art studio is a two-bedroom apartment. Whether you decide to continue the lucrative rental tradition or convert the use to a home office or additional family living space, this is a truly special opportunity. The barn is now heated with a 3-bay woodworking shop.
Located in highly sought-after Princeton Junction and just a short distance to the train station and downtown Princeton. For families with school age children, the West Windsor schools are exceptional and one of the premier educational opportunities in New Jersey.
