Property Description

Classic architecture meets modern sophistication at 81 Westcott Road in Princeton’s coveted western section. This five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom Colonial invites you into a world of elegance, with a beautifully updated interior that offers both comfort and style. The traditional Colonial exterior, paired with the lush landscaping, creates a timeless curb appeal. Step inside to discover rich hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout, from the gracious foyer with crown and chair rail molding to the front-to-back living room with wood-burning fireplace and clerestory windows to welcome in the natural light. The dining room mimics these windows, providing a sunny setting for weekend brunches. Step outside the dining room or living room to the patio. The heart of the home, a newer kitchen, combines both function and flair, making it perfect for culinary enthusiasts and entertainers alike. A center island with seating, a prep sink and wine fridge takes center stage beneath a row of pendant lights. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an integrated refrigerator add to the appeal. The adjacent sunroom provides the perfect place to congregate and provides access to the deck for ease of al fresco dining or indoor/outdoor entertaining. Practical touches include a large mud/laundry room and a first floor office with built-in bookcases. Upstairs, the large primary suite offers a sitting area and a spacious en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath, while the third floor provides an additional bedroom and full bath. The home's fully finished walkout basement is a true bonus, offering a separate living space complete with a recreation room with wet bar, a game room with built-in bookcases, a bedroom, and a luxurious full bath featuring a rain shower and heated floors. The walkout access leads directly to the beautifully manicured backyard, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Outside, the professionally landscaped and hardscaped yard spans nearly half an acre (.46), providing a serene oasis with terraces, tiered decks, and inviting sitting areas. Garden enthusiasts will love the built-in planter boxes and vibrant gardens that punctuate the outdoor space. The attached two-car garage is outfitted with an EV charger. With its ideal location, sophisticated updates, and an expansive, private yard, 81 Westcott Road offers a perfect blend of traditional beauty and modern living in one of Princeton’s most coveted neighborhoods.
