Property details

About 83 Pettit Pl

At the end of a cul de sac in the most upscale enclave along the Princeton Ridge, a home of graciously sized spaces, each distinguished by detailed moldings, coffered ceilings, stunning fixtures and thoughtful amenities, was custom built and lovingly cared for by its original owners. The acre-plus grounds are especially lovely with trees like magnolia and Japanese maple standing out as featured specimens against a naturally wooded backdrop, which is thankfully protected for generations to come. Out back, a newly rebuilt Azek deck takes full advantage of the total privacy. The interior starts with a grand 2-story entry, where Swarovski crystal lighting hangs high above an inlaid granite floor. The living room and the sunroom share a 2-sided gas fireplace and 8-ft tall glass paned doors. The library is fully panelled in rich cherry wood reaching all the way to another 2-story ceiling. The family room, at the heart of the home, is the largest space and ready for leisurely evenings with a wet bar beside the fireplace. New Thermador wall ovens, ample island prep space and twin apron sinks in front of a window with fantastic views are assets in the open kitchen. In addition to a powder room, a first floor full bath serves a nearby bedroom ideal for guests. Four more upper bedrooms include two with a jack-and-jill bath and library loft access, a suite with a sitting room, and the primary suite. The primary leaves lucky owners wanting for nothing with a fireplace, a sitting room, a balcony, a huge bath with extra vanity, and five walk-in closets, one lined with cedar. Everyone has access to a skylit loft and, if even more finished space is desired, the pre-plumbed basement is poised to serve any need beautifully with double sets of French doors and tall ceilings. Even your vehicles and equipment have space to spare in the 3 plus bay garage. As a bonus, the A/C and furnace were just replaced in 2022. Come see all the spectacular features of this sprawling showplace!
