Description

Timeless Elegance and Style in Princeton’s Western Section It's your time, imaging living the lifestyle you have always dreamed of just minutes from downtown Princeton and all it has to offer. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the coveted Western Section, 79 Lafayette Road offers a rare blend of classic architecture and thoughtful modern updates. Tucked into a professionally landscaped yard, this gracious 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath center hall Colonial is a true sanctuary. This timeless center hall Colonial was expanded in 1998 by renowned architect Lewis Barber, who thoughtfully reimagined the home to include a luxurious primary bedroom suite and a spacious kitchen and great room combination. These additions feature vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and expansive views of the park-like backyard, creating a seamless blend of elegance and comfort. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite impresses with a vaulted ceiling and a luxurious ensuite bath. Imagine entertaining in the formal front-to-back living room, which features hardwood flooring and an abundance of natural light, and sliders to the rear deck for entertaining, with seamless access to the inviting library/den.

The elegant formal dining room is centrally located near the living room and the kitchen/great room living spaces, offering a perfect setting for hosting with timeless style. The first floor is rounded out by the kitchen and great room, which is the heart of this home—featuring a cozy setting with a gas fireplace, skylights, window seating, and true natural lighting. Kitchen upgrades include newer granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, blending functionality with modern appeal. A main-floor au pair or guest suite 6th bedroom with a full bath adds flexibility for modern living. The second floor consists of the primary ensuite and four additional spacious bedrooms, served by two additional full baths, a laundry room, and both front and back staircases for added convenience. The finished portion of the basement provides flexible space for a home office, playroom, or gym, while the unfinished area offers ample storage and walk-out access to the backyard. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage, a newly paved driveway, and a freshly painted exterior of the house. The park-like setting completes the picture, offering tranquil vibes and a peaceful retreat just moments from the heart of Princeton. Live the life you’ve imagined in this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed home— Princeton offers top-rated schools, cultural attractions, and so much more. Welcome Home!
