Named for its close proximity to the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study, the “Institute” neighborhood is one of the most sought-after enclaves in all of Princeton. Here, on a large and lovely lot, this classic close-to-town beauty bears all the graciousness of its 1930’s heritage, with elegantly-proportioned interiors that have stood the test of time. Guest-pleasing details in the living room include crown molding and a decorative fireplace; across the hall, it’s easy to envision candlelit dinners in the formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen is more than up-to-task, but an expansive footprint is ready for your dream design. Beyond, the big, light-filled family room opens via French doors to a bluestone patio and pretty backyard – both private with established greenery and trees. Rounding out the 1st floor are a powder room and a cozy den centered on another decorative fireplace. Front and back staircases lead to 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including the main suite, whose marble bath evokes the timelessness of a more romantic era.
