The stunning Tudor house is now listed for sale for $3,850,000.
In a room with brick floors, off the wood-paneled library inside a stately Tudor home in Princeton, is a stained glass window that pays homage to the home’s original owner.Wallace had the more than 5,800 square foot, five bedroom, four full and three half bathroom home built in 1931. Three owners later, it’s now, who helped establish the School of Architecture at Princeton University and designed about 300 homes in Princeton and New Hope, Pennsylvania.
It underwent a $2 million restoration about 20 years ago, said Mark Davies of Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, the listing agent.For example, they removed the original tile that went from the main entrance into the kitchen and replaced it with an antique French limestone and put radiant heat in the floor.
“You lost the original detail but they replaced it with something appropriate and with heat,” Davies said.Robert Manella | Callaway Henderson Sotheby's International RealtyThere are still plenty of original details including a secret passageway — a pocket door in the foyer that leads to the library. The large basement, which was a private speakeasy at one time, has a fireplace, brick floors and a wine cellar.
The home sits on 3.37 acres in western Princeton, where the lots are larger and the homes have more privacy.Its Tudor style makes it unique in an area where many homes are Federal or Colonial style. “It has old house charm but doesn’t have all the old house baggage,” he said. “It doesn’t need to be fixed up or renovated. It’s light and open.”
The buyer, Davies said, will likely be someone “who values its style,” and who doesn’t want “a cookie cutter contemporary home.”The home was designed by renowned architect Rolf Bauhan.The kitchen has marble and walnut counter tops.
