Completely reimagined through a modern lens, this house was transformed in 2017 when the whole first floor was taken down to the studs, opened up and finished to exacting standards. Now, a floating staircase with fluid lines sets a calm, yet bold, tone upon entry and quarter-sawn white oak floors are cohesive throughout. The formal dining and living areas exist as one big, bright room, as do the family room and kitchen, where a panelled Sub Zero and a smart Miele range join German-made Poggenpohl cabinetry topped with natural Quartzite. Huge windows showcase the poolscape and boxwood-edged travertine terrace, another major project completed under current ownership. When the leaves fill in, its a supremely private oasis that melds into the adjoining 1.32 acre buildable lot, 95 Penn Lyle can be purchased separately from 97 Penn Lyle. The main suite also opens to the terrace and includes 2 walk-in closets and a spa-worthy bathroom fully tiled in marble with radiant heat. One of 2 gas fireplaces is found in the nearby library/office. The finished basement has a fully-equipped bar and the second floor has 4 more bedrooms, 2 with renovated ensuite baths. The Lutron Smart Home System feature controls interior and exterior lights, and window shades on the first floor. Conveniently located 1.7 miles to Princeton Junction Train Station, and less than 5 miles to Princeton University.
