37 RIDGEVIEW RD Princeton, NJ 08540

Lighted stone pillars lead the way to this meticulously maintained Princeton colonial set on a perfect 2+ acres of sunshine, rolling lawns and shade trees. Originally designed by famed Princeton architect, Rolf W. Bauhan, fabulous additions and renovations through the years by Max Hayden and Peter Morgan, have helped to create a unique home that is delightfully airy and impressive with classic white walls and hardwood flooring throughout. The front entrance hall offers a powder room and coat closet with an archway that opens to an expansive living room with a wood burning fireplace and a side alcove with built-in shelves. A bank of bay windows brings forth natural light and overlooks the terraced stone patios trimmed in brick. Just off the living room are a cozy den with a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets and a formal dining room with a second set of bay windows and a glass door that accesses the stone terrace. An updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, cherry cabinets, a butcher block island, opens to a breakfast room with triple casement windows and a half glass door that only adds to the light-filled space. A rear laundry/mudroom offers a glass door to the backyard and easy access to the unfinished basement and a two car side-entry garage. A back staircase off the kitchen leads to the second floor bonus room that is perfect for TV/media use. The second level offers three full bathrooms,(all renovated) and four bedrooms with one bedroom offering its own private bathroom. Accessing the second floor by the main staircase, the ceiling was lifted to give a larger feel to the hallway that offers additional storage closets. And last but certainly not least; the first floor master suite has been expanded to accommodate a sleek linear gas fireplace trimmed in stainless steel and flanked by twin sets of glass French doors that open to the stone terrace. The master bedroom also features an elevated, coffered ceiling for architectural interest, wall closets, a walk-in closet and a completely remodeled master bathroom with a spa-like feel. Minutes to town and University, surrounded by the finest private schools and backing to 40 acres of preserved land, this home is truly one-of-a-kind.
