Queen Anne Victorian | Circa 1906 | Offered For Sale
Step back 120 years into one of Princeton's most beautifully preserved Queen Anne Victorians -- where architectural heritage and modern comfort coexist seamlessly.
Originally built in 1906 and meticulously renovated with deep respect for its craftsmanship, this remarkable 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers over 2,751-Total Finish Square Feet of thoughtfully curated living space. Every enhancement has been executed to preserve the integrity of the home while elevating everyday livability.
Authentic period details remain proudly intact throughout -- including original pocket doors, intricate millwork, built-ins, timeless flooring, and stunning diamond-pattern quarry leaded glass windows with red and green cathedral tones, defining characteristics of Queen Anne design. Original cast-iron heat registers with functional foot-slide damper controls -- a rare surviving feature of early gravity heat systems -- further reflect the home's preserved architectural authenticity. These are not reproductions, but historic elements increasingly rare to find in such condition.
The home rests upon an original mortared fieldstone (rubble stone) foundation, characteristic of early 20th-century craftsmanship and a testament to the enduring construction methods of the era.
The layout delivers both character and versatility. The private third-floor Primary Suite is a dramatic and unexpected 412+- sf retreat -- rarely found in homes of this vintage -- complemented by a 14x8 cedar walk-in closet. Whether used as a sanctuary, studio, or executive-style escape, it offers exceptional separation and scale.
Gathering spaces flow naturally throughout the main level, anchored by a gas fireplace that adds warmth and presence. A signature two-sided HDPE porch extends the living space outdoors -- offering durability, low maintenance, and an ideal setting for entertaining, morning coffee, or quiet evenings overlooking the gardens.
Both the main and upper levels feature spacious, fully renovated bathrooms blending modern comfort with timeless claw-foot elegance in keeping with the home's heritage.
While the historic character has been preserved, the home's infrastructure has been thoughtfully modernized with an updated electrical panel, new furnace, water heater, and updated appliances, including KitchenAid, blending modern performance with period charm.
The work is done -- and will continue to serve for decades to come.
The exterior has been refreshed with new Hardie(r) siding -- complemented by classic shingle-shake detailing in signature Queen Anne turquoise on the upper level and garage -- a respectful nod to the home's architectural roots while providing long-term durability. A rare 24x26 detached garage provides substantial storage and convenient e-car charging amenities for a property of this period.
Lush, thoughtfully designed gardens enhance curb appeal and create a serene setting, maintained with an in-ground irrigation system to keep the landscape vibrant throughout the seasons. Situated in one of Princeton's most admired neighborhoods -- distinguished by its enduring early-1900s architecture -- this property represents more than a home.
It is a preserved piece of history.
Carefully maintained. Respectfully updated.
Ready for its next steward.
