Description

History greets you at the door, offering a warm welcome and an invitation to join in the story-line of this venerable Princeton estate. The Italian marble fountain with the guardian lions give you the first inclination that this is perhaps somewhat of a fairy-tale palace, but its' primary designation is simply Home. Showcasing an extravagant amount of living space, modernized conveniences, and a plethora of unique features, this is a sanctuary through every season. Historic charm starts in the kitchen, but the real awe is felt in the dining room where the curved bank of windows is mimicked by the beautiful coffered ceiling - natural light flooding the room and gleaming off of that one-of-a-kind chandelier! The Living Room with it's carved wooden mantle atop a gas fireplace (with yes, another elegant chandelier); the Library (or main-floor bedroom!) boasting built-in shelving and oversize windows; the Foyer, which is a feature unto itself with ornate wood panels and fanlight; the soaring 9-foot ceilings creating a sense of spatial luxury - all combine to meld Past with Present. Follow the graceful curve of the banister up the grand staircase. (Take care as you stop to gawk at the twin marvels of mirror and opulent pendant light.) Four bedrooms, each imbued with its own character - wood-burning fireplace, magnificent rose carpet, generous walk-in closet with built-in shelving, warm wooden paneling. There's something to fit every taste. The outdoor living is just as beautiful. That front porch alone will lower your blood pressure by 20 points. Room for gardening of every variety, play area for pets and people, and the desirable corner lot gives you a sense of privacy. Two garages give you more than enough storage area and the full basement multiplies the useable living space! Make sure that you take a close look at the Features Sheet - this place is Fascinating! Property being sold "as-is". Princeton, Il. is a destination spot - a mecca of culture and food, entertainment and shopping. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Princeton's History, and to make yourself a part of it.
