Wow House: John Witherspoon Signed The Declaration Of Independence, Owned This Princeton Home

214 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton, NJ -- $3,950,000

From Realtor.com:

Casting a romantic spell with its inspiring elegance and unspoiled vistas, this hidden estate is a world unto itself - beautifully set on 5+ gloriously manicured acres, minutes from downtown Princeton, previously owned by Declaration signer, John Witherspoon.

A dramatic two-story foyer with inset paneling leads to generously-scaled rooms, where crackling fireplaces and glass doors to wisteria-draped terraces inject a delightful sense of coziness: a walnut-wrapped study, sweeping family and dining rooms, and a perfectly-equipped kitchen, whose wall of French doors streams ever-changing views of the landscape's natural magic.

A bookcase-encircled landing gives way to the spectacular master suite with barrel-vaulted ceiling, boutique-style dressing room, and spa bath with fireplace-facing tub. Punctuating this sunlit retreat with soft color are a stunning gas fireplace and lovely views of abutting preserved land and trails.

A gym, theater, pool and tennis facilities are sure to bring loved ones together; 6 additional bedrooms and a 3-room apartment ensure privacy, when desired.
