There are countless ways to connect with nature and explore the outdoors at this enchanting 9.6-acre property, known for over 100 years as “Viewpoint”. Meadows dotted with fireflies, English-style flower gardens and picturesque ponds offer an ever-changing backdrop for entertaining, unwinding, or even penning the next great American novel. Here, in 1906, Pulitzer Prize-winner Upton Sinclair found the peace and quiet needed to write his most important work. Today, an utterly charming stone and shingle home, a saltwater pool and walking trails present the opportunity to live, work and play as if you’re miles from nowhere surrounded by 153 acres of newly protected woods, while in reality, this fully fenced property is within the bounds of culturally rich Princeton and all its amenities. The Colonial Revival house, designed by NYC architect Chester Patterson and then sensitively renovated by Max Hayden, showcases reclaimed beams, paneled walls and deep window sills. The wood-sheathed library with a hidden bar and half bath is the moody opposite of the buoyant sunroom and open kitchen, where quartz countertops and glass tile join professional appliances. Exposed stone walls and original details, like a Dutch door with heavy brass hardware, continue to captivate as you round the corner to the freshly painted guest wing. Above, an airy flex room is ideal as an office or art studio. Two bathrooms beautifully renovated with real marble and slate serve three more bedrooms atop the main staircase. The spacious primary suite includes a dressing room with radiant heat ready to be customized to meet your exact storage needs. While fireplaces and reading nooks are certainly alluring, all the favorite spots are outside. A new stone patio with pergola spreads out beside organic gardens and a storybook playhouse sparks the imagination against a backdrop of 100-year-old Norway spruce trees. While floating in the gunite pool, one can truly appreciate the home’s craftsmanship by admiring the slate roof, copper gutters and working shutters. While a cottage and horse barn are presented as-is, the 4-car garage with full-size, walk-up loft is ready to serve. Lean into the leisurely lifestyle and otherworldly charm of Viewpoint and discover a whole new perspective at Princeton’s edge.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
