Colonial Rich with Classic Details

101 Lafayette Road
Princeton, NJ  08540

Tucked away at the end of a sleepy Western Section street, the timeless beauty of Rolf Bauhan's stone construction is enhanced by an addition expertly built by Janet Lasley to cater to a modern way of life.



Along with a private yard studded with flowering trees branching over stone terraces and steps descending to a pool, the picturesque house is quintessentially Princeton. The arch of the front door's leaded glass fanlight influences architectural and decorative details throughout the elegant main level, including the living room with 3 sets of French doors and the dining room with Palladian window. In addition to a private study, an open work desk overlooks the family room with stone fireplace and built-ins. Double islands and a 48" pro range will please gourmands in the central kitchen with pretty sunroom adjoining. Three staircases give separation to an upstairs media room, au pair suite, and 5 family bedrooms served by 3 baths. The finished third floor with bath makes a fun retro-style gym or playroom.
