3 Evelyn Pl

Steeped in Princeton University lore, this rare 1910 stone Colonial Craftsman, once home to acclaimed philosopher and historian Thomas Kuhn, has been masterfully renovated for modern living. A perfect weave of past with present, and sited on a graceful Princeton side street, this is the quintessential in-town sanctuary. Original features remain intact and restored, including warm chestnut and mahogany woodwork, high ceilings, French doors, wood floors, and rooms that are flexible enough to accommodate various lifestyles. As you enter, to the left, sits a lovely room which once served as guest quarters for traveling ministers when they visited Princeton. It can serve as a: dining room, formal living room, music room, first-floor office, etc. The kitchen, butler’s pantry, mudroom and powder room have all been completely redone, and now provide a more modern flow for cooking and joyful gatherings of family and friends. Outfitted with stainless appliances, premium cabinetry, marble countertops, a farm sink and built-in shelving, the eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry are beautifully bright and airy. A collector’s library, with stately book stacks and ladder, comprises one end of the spacious family room, while the family room itself features an elegant fireplace, built-in perimeter wood seating and serene views. The dining room opens to the front foyer, kitchen and family room and offers yet another fireplace, bright windows, French doors out to the covered rear terrace, stone patio, lush gardens and beautiful backyard. Upstairs, five large bedrooms and three renovated bathrooms include a primary suite with: dressing closet, ensuite bath and flexible 6th bedroom/home office. One of the other bedrooms possesses its own balcony. An expansive walk-up attic space and full basement provide ample storage, while Central A/C and zoned Gas Heating keeps everyone comfy and cozy. The two-car detached garage, with additional off-street parking for 6+ cars, is a true luxury in town. Mere steps from Nassau Street, Princeton University, Princeton schools, McCarter Theatre, restaurants and shops, and with easy access to NJ Transit and Amtrak train systems, this glorious retreat is a unique opportunity to live near everything that makes Princeton so magical. Showings begin this Wednesday, June 25th.
