About 140 Laurel Rd
**Not in a Flood Zone — Don’t Take Our Word for It. Check FEMA & NJDEP Maps in the Listing.** Now that we’ve cleared that up… welcome to **140 Laurel Road**, where architecture doesn’t just meet nature — it high-fives it in sleek, mid-century style. This Andrew Sheldon-designed masterpiece isn’t just a house — it’s an experience. Tucked at the end of a hidden cul-de-sac in Princeton, this .64-acre canvas fuses wooded privacy, a peaceful creek view, and daring contemporary design into a home that unapologetically stands out. Float up the sculptural exterior staircase and enter a home that’s anything but ordinary. Skylit, closet-lined, and sun-drenched, the entryway sets the tone for what’s to come: intelligent design, natural light, and architectural drama in all the right places. The living room? It’s a vibe. Recessed skylights, a gas fireplace, and a giant picture window that practically pours you out onto the deck. Custom built-ins? Of course. This is a house that knows who it is. Hosting? The dining room brings the outdoors in with panoramic creek views and direct access to a deck that’s basically made for champagne toasts and sunset selfies. The kitchen is a chef’s flex: granite, stainless, glass tile, filtered water, a greenhouse window for your fresh basil, and yes — breakfast nook to deck flow that screams weekend brunch. Upstairs, the Primary Suite whispers calm luxury — wall-to-wall closets, ensuite bath, all wrapped in natural light. Downstairs, it’s party meets practicality: a large family room, three more bedrooms, a killer hall bath, and a surprise second greenhouse window. (We weren’t kidding about the light.) There’s more: Above the garage, a bonus studio with its own entrance, full bath, deck, and limitless possibilities. Guest quarters? Yoga loft? Creative cave? You decide. Outside, it’s all decks, trees, and “I can’t believe this is in Princeton” serenity. The garage even throws in a workroom and extra storage for good measure. This home isn’t just rare — it’s rebellious. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter, get ready to fall in love. **Schedule your private tour today and own a piece of Princeton that dares to be different.**
