Property Description
Grover Cleveland, brought plaster-detailed ceilings, carved mantels and oversized
windows back to a level of magnificence that would undoubtedly please the Jersey-born
Commander in Chief. Yet this gloriously bright home is far from suspended in time. The
modern sensibilities of the current owners prove that fresh, fun and functional can
successfully go hand-in-hand with stately ornamentation. The 1.57-acre grounds also
support a leisurely lifestyle with a renovated pool, covered porch and 3-car garage to
one side. While a profusion of hydrangea blooms bring lively color to the whole property,
the formal garden extending from a broad bluestone patio is an especially captivating
spot for summertime soirees. Inside, ceilings rise well over 12-feet, but feel even loftier
above clean white walls washed in sunlight. Most rooms are large and versatile, yet
there are spots to steal away for conversation or a cocktail. Some may choose to use
the library off the family room as a bar or create a breakfast nook in the sunroom lined
with gracefully arched windows. While the kitchen feels simply timeless with brilliant
white cabinetry and natural marble, a custom steel hood over an enormous Viking range
shows it can stand up to the demands of a serious chef. A nearby mud entry with
cubbies and a half-bath keeps wet feet and backpacks in check. Accessible by two
staircases, the second level is enchanting in its own right with five bedrooms boasting
features like built-ins and fireplaces. The primary suite also offers walk-in closets, one fit
for a queen with a stunning chandelier. Work, play, exercise and host extra holiday
guests on the airy top floor, complete with its own bathroom, a walk-in cedar closet and
some of the prettiest windows in the whole house. There are so many reasons to fall
head over heels for history-rich Westland, but perhaps the best part is its amazing
proximity to Princeton destinations. The library, Palmer Square, The Arts Council, the
YMCA and, of course, campus are a pleasant stroll from the gracious front porch.
