Features: Mid-century modern starts here! This special property is being offered for only the second time since it was built! Designed by Robert Geddes, then Dean of Princeton University's Department of Architecture, we are proud to present the opportunity of a lifetime.

Leading to the entrance, a bluestone path provides the foundation for a gracious approach to the enclosed courtyard, as it creates a tranquil, yet exciting, formal introduction to the house itself. The front door, flanked by two large window walls, sets the stage for the clever interplay between the exterior and interior spaces.

Step into the 22 foot entry, and enjoy the burnished wood floors which provide the perfect foil for your artwork and furniture. Sleek as a seal, the formal living room and dining room are large enough to entertain any size group, yet are equally conducive to more intimate gatherings.

Eat-in kitchen provides space for creating culinary delights, and meshes with the architectonic aspects of the house itself. Three bedrooms and two cleverly crafted baths complete the picture. But wait--- don't miss the secret garden, which is a thing of beauty in itself.

Large bluestone slabs accentuate mature plantings and latticework, creating a patio space that is simply glorious. Perfectly proportioned, and an obvious continuation of the interior of the house, this space might even be considered the jewel in the crown.

Inside or outside, night or day, winter or summer ---here is a true architectural treasure right in the heart of Princeton. Fireplace is decorative, believed to work.
