About 74 Wilson Rd
In Princeton’s prized Western section, this impeccably maintained Mid-century Modern home is a striking example of single-level living at its most refined. Designed by noted Princeton architect Thaddeus Longstreth, who once collaborated with modernist legend Richard Neutra on the iconic Kaufmann House, this home embodies the timeless principles of organic architecture. Walls of glass and thoughtfully placed sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, drawing light and landscape into every corner. Set on lush, leafy grounds, the home’s design feels deeply rooted in its surroundings. The renovated kitchen is both sleek and practical, anchored by a full suite of Gaggenau appliances. A radiant sunroom, living room, and family room each offer their own sense of sanctuary, complete with cozy fireplaces. Four bedrooms are tucked into a private wing, including a serene main suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath. A large home office, perfectly placed near a powder room, completes the effortlessly functional layout. A curved driveway introduces a porte cochère with generous storage for bikes, garden tools, and weekend gear, while the patio just beyond the sliders is ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. Elegant yet understated, this is an architectural gem in one of Princeton’s most beloved neighborhoods.
