Princeton’s Original In-Town Farmhouse, Reborn

145 Ewing Street, Unit A, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 United States

Not only was this historically significant home saved, it was creatively reimagined as a modern farmhouse so pretty and pristine it’s worthy of a magazine cover! The 1755 structure is one of the oldest in town, pre-dating even Nassau Hall. While it survived the Revolutionary War and went on to become a writers’ retreat hosting literary greats, like Ernest Hemingway, it was in desperate need of an overhaul. Now the antique door of the flagstone covered porch opens to reveal a cheerful interior featuring distressed 9” white oak flooring, crisp trimwork and new Marvin windows. High-end fixtures and appliances join streamlined touches, like a cable stair rail, tiled fireplace wall and plentiful recessed lighting. The kitchen is loaded with storage and panache, especially with the statement-making Smeg range and hood paired with beautifully veined quartzite countertops. A tucked-away space beside the backdoor is ideal as a mudroom, office or anything your personal lifestyle necessitates. Further flexibility is found in a first floor suite with its own entrance, plus French doors and heated designer tile flooring. Bathrooms throughout are fitted with Grohe fixtures, while furniture-style vanities add function and flair to the upper baths, including in the main suite, complete with a walk-in closet and sun deck. Step out to a second deck to realize this essentially new farmhouse is part of a duplex. The adjoining side is just as stylish and also available!
