Nestled in a beautiful wooded setting, this dynamic home is designed in the classic mid-century modern style - an echo of modernist master, Richard Neutra, by his chief architect, Fritz Reichl. Reflecting the homeowners? history as a family of artists and architects, this house is a tribute a lifelong dedication to art and its relationship with nature. The indoor-outdoor design is expressed in expansive rooms, which are filled with light, thanks to floor to ceiling windows, large skylights, andsliding glass doors leading to covered patio, outdoor deck and in-ground pool.
Accented by natural materials of walnut and travertine, a magnificent great room accommodates formal and informal living - a centered wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves with bar visually divide the room into dining, living and family room spaces. The kitchen, with breakfast area, pull-out pantry and generous island, is extremely spacious - its original cabinetry more than ample for efficient kitchen organization.
Living space flexibility continues throughout the house with four expansive bedrooms, including two masters, one with en suite and his/her closets on the first floor, the other on the second with its own private deck - both with stunning natural views. An airy loft space could be a study or media room, and one of the additional two bedrooms is currently set up as an office with a wall of bookshelves and two storage closets. Very special is the sizable, sky-lit art studio which was once the working space of noted sculptor, Eva Reichl. Its bedroom, kitchenette, and separate entrance is ideal for in-law, au pair suite or home office.
Other features include a courtyard-facing foyer, substantial closet and storage space, in-ground pool, a whole house generator that serves the entire home, and many, display spaces for cherished art and book collections. Experience inspired living and entertaining in a private location for all that Princeton has to offer, an easy commute to NYC and Philadelphia, and access to the top-rated Princeton public and private schools. This is your rare opportunity to own a piece of art history, and must be seen to be truly appreciate!
