Who says practical can't be fabulous? Certainly not this rare detached home in Princeton's Governors Lane, where a first-floor primary suite, wonderfully generous rooms, and a designer's eye for detail come together in a house that is filled with polish. From the textured wallcoverings to the artful mix of furnishings and finishes, a local designer has helped create interiors that feel collected rather than decorated. And while the floor plan makes an excellent alternative to a 55+ community, there's nothing remotely scaled-down about the way this home lives. The dining room is ready for a crowd, whether it's Thanksgiving dinner or an evening that stretches well past dessert. Across the hall, the living room's gas fireplace sets a lovely mood, while a den with built-ins and a window seat makes a convincing case for staying home with a good book. The first-floor primary suite is a pleasure in its own right, with two custom closets and a spa-style bathroom. Then there's the kitchen, big, bright, and opening onto one of Governors Lane's most appealing features: a courtyard garden that feels like a little world of its own. Even the practical details have been considered, from the two-car garage access to the powder room and a laundry chute in the main suite. The surprises continue downstairs, where a finished basement includes a projection home theater with built-in speakers. There's also a half bathroom, a laundry room and plenty of storage. Upstairs, a music room was carved from the loft, with enough space for a baby grand piano. Three more bedrooms and two full bathrooms round out this level, including a bedroom that's been transformed into a well- equipped home office with built-ins. Governors Lane has always had a certain appeal, but this one brings something extra to the conversation!
