There is something wonderfully unexpected about this updated 1950s ranch in a beloved Littlebrook neighborhood. Set back from the street and screened by established landscaping, the house is angled above Harry’s Brook, which runs alongside the property. The effect is almost that of a secret garden, remarkably private and peaceful for a home so close to the center of Princeton. Inside, hardwood and travertine flooring lends character throughout, while plentiful glass doors and windows allow sunlight to shift from room to room. An easy, efficient floor plan makes excellent use of every square foot. The kitchen combines timeless finishes with serious functionality, including Calacatta marble countertops and backsplashes, generous cabinetry, oversized drawers, a large stainless steel sink, counter-depth French-door refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. The living and dining areas are open concept with French doors opening to the rear patio and a fireplace to add winter warmth. There’s also a cozy den and a sizable front vestibule with room for chairs or a desk. All 2.5 bathrooms have been updated. The powder room features a Waterworks washstand with glass legs and polished nickel details. The guest bath includes a heated floor and towel bar. In the primary bath, a white marble-topped vanity pairs with celadon green marble tile, polished nickel fixtures and a soap-resistant glass shower door. The primary bedroom faces the brook with French doors that open outside, while the other two bedrooms look toward a high hedge of bamboo that keeps the view private. The basement provides abundant storage and a large, bright laundry area. Outside, established gardens offer something in bloom across the seasons. Walkways wind through the plantings, while steps descend toward the brook with a landing that’s perfect for a couple of Adirondack chairs and a glass of wine. The sound of the brook, the birds at water’s edge and the wind through the bamboo create an atmosphere that feels far removed from town. You’d never guess that Small World Coffee, Blue Point Grill and the everyday pleasures of downtown Princeton are just steps away.
