Description

Share the love and craftsmanship of this 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath Italianate home on 1.4 acres on one of Princeton most historical Streets. According to one historian account, Dr. Earnest Schenk relocated from Prussia Germany in 1856 to prominent Princeton to establish his practice in America. Various historians had conflicting views on an exact date Dr. Schenk and his wife moved into the home. Even though Dr. Schenk owned 180 acres of land he picked this beautiful location for him, his wife & eventually 5 children. We found that at least one of his daughters and his wife resided in the home long after his death. This home is perched on beautiful corner lots. Just far enough back for privacy and close enough to all Historical Princeton has to offer. It was built in the mid 1800's and belonged to a prominent Doctor and his family for many years. There is too much history on this house to put in the listing so call us for a feature sheet with lists of updates and more history. It is a perfect blend of old and new. Updates include new windows in 2020, freshly painted exterior, new carpeting in upstairs and both staircases, refinished wood floors on main level and all bathrooms updated in the last 10 years. Kitchen has tons of cabinetry with newer granite counter tops, a Jenn-Air range, and stainless steel appliances. Also a Main level laundry room. Take in the world around you as you spend lazy afternoons relaxing on the 38' long open front porch with the porch swing --- or snuggle up in front of one of the 3 very unique fireplaces, and of course you can just gaze out the huge window & enjoy the beautiful view from every room in the house. The main floor master suite has it's own bath plus a great walk-in closet. Gorgeous woodwork and crown molding surround you as you enjoy the wet bar while your loved ones spend time in your new library here. A $10,000 water filtration system plus a radon mitigation system are both in place for your health. The most modern heating system that money can buy has also been installed in 2023. The home also has 2 central air units, one for main floor and one for the upstairs --installed for your comfort. 200 amp electrical service with updated wiring and all the benefits of a new home with the old world character and privacy only offered in the finest homes around. This home has custom history craftsmanship that can only be experienced by a private showing.. Call today--you will be glad you did!
