130 Hodge Rd

Even along a street where every house is a stunner, this brick beauty makes everyone slow their stride to take in the pleasing proportions and elegant details for an extra moment. But this Western Section residence is more than just a pretty facade. It's the whole package with modern space for daily life, a private level for guests, and outdoor living beyond compare! Original rooms with French doors, fireplaces and built-ins open to an enchanting stone terrace, complete with a wall fountain, while an exceptionally airy family room addition spills out to an allee overlooking the pool, perfect for morning laps and weekend fun. A covered porch, shaded paths, a trellised garden folly and a fenced vegetable patch are a combination not typically found so close to town. A mudroom entry with closets for everyone connects the garage to the kitchen, where a La Cornue range stands beside a walnut-topped island that echoes the style of the nearby butlers pantry. To facilitate working from home, a shelf-lined study is situated far from any rowdy play happening in the clever basement sport zone. Atop the graceful main staircase is the main suite with a marble-dressed bathroom between twin walk-ins. The laundry room and 2 more suites are just down the hall, while the comprehensive third floor serves your guests' every need with a kitchen and lounge shared by two bedrooms. Live in the present, but celebrate the past, in this incomparable 1920's home. And all just 6/10 of a mile from Nassau Street with Princeton University just beyond...come see!
