As one of Princeton’s most captivating and stunning streets, its allure is only heightened by being a stone's throw away from the scenic campus and wooded trails of the Institute for Advanced Study. Designed by renowned Princeton architect Rolf W. Bauhan, 60 Battle Road pairs architectural pedigree with the enduring appeal of Princeton. Morning coffee on the covered porch, afternoon strolls along nature trails, and dinners with friends that linger into the evening set the rhythm of daily life. An expansive, flexible floor plan spans three stories of living space, three fireplaces, a walk-out basement and a two-car garage. In 2023 a stunning modern kitchen was designed and added enhanced with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a generous center island bring everyday ease to the beautifully appointed kitchen, while leaded-glass windows add architectural interest. A separate butler’s pantry/mudroom with a sink, counter space, storage, and a wine refrigerator makes entertaining especially convenient. Hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, and fine architectural details lend character throughout. In the gracious living room, a wood burning fireplace anchors the space, while three sets of French doors open to the covered porch. Step down into the spacious family room, where a second wood burning fireplace invites conversation or a quiet evening reading. An adjoining first-floor bedroom/office with a separate entrance, and full bath that includes a stacked washer and dryer adds flexibility and modern convenience. The formal dining room welcomes gatherings both intimate and celebratory. Upstairs, generously sized rooms offer flexibility for bedrooms, sitting rooms, and workspaces, complemented by two renovated full baths. The charming third floor provides two rooms for hobbies, creative pursuits, or home offices and includes a full vintage bath. The unfinished basement offers additional laundry facilities and storage. Outside, the covered porch gives way to a stone terrace and a deep yard framed by mature trees and established plantings—a lovely setting for outdoor lunches and unhurried afternoons. 60 Battle Road brings together architectural distinction, versatile living, and the enduring appeal of its Princeton setting.
