Set among the leafy calm of Bainbridge Estates in Lawrenceville, this Princeton-address home feels thoughtfully rooted, as though the architecture and gardens matured together over time. Flowering shrubs soften the approach while towering trees frame the property with an established elegance. Carefully planned hardscaping guides the experience from the attractive front walk to the backyard’s layered outdoor living spaces, where a patio and deck extend the home naturally into the greenery beyond. A distinctive four-gable roofline lends character, balancing traditional proportions with a warm, welcoming scale. Inside, the floorplan unfolds with equal confidence: formal rooms are generously sized yet comfortable. The family room introduces light and texture through twin skylights and a brick fireplace that anchors the space. Nearby, the kitchen blends refinement with utility. Granite worksurfaces and counter seating support modern routines, while the brick floor adds a tactile, almost European feel. The adjoining breakfast room, complete with a built-in butler’s bar and sliding doors to the deck, creates a nice flow between indoors and outdoors. Elsewhere on the main level, a home office offers a place to get some work done, while laundry and powder rooms round out the floor plan. Upstairs, four bedrooms are nicely proportioned alongside a substantial bonus room. The primary suite is especially generous, designed with a two-room bath that separates the soaking tub from the shower and commode for a more spa-like sense of retreat. Just three miles from Princeton University and downtown Princeton, enjoy buzzy cafs, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and the vibrant cultural pulse of one of New Jersey’s most beloved towns.
