14 N Main St, Cranbury, NJ 08512

This stately turn-of-the-century residence on Cranbury's storied Main Street stands as a testament to what a home can become when its history is cherished. The home was built 1910 and designed and occupied by the architect responsible for Princeton's first football stadium. From the fabulous 900 sq. ft. porchrebuilt in 2020 using the home's own original capstonesenjoy a front-row seat to the charm and vitality of downtown Cranbury. Every corner of this home rewards a closer look. Upon entering, appreciate the quarter-sawn oak floors with characteristic ribbon grain. Push-button light switches retain their period charm, while lath-and-plaster walls were painstakingly tightened, re-taped, and replastered by hand. Original stained glass was lovingly restored with antique glass and fitted with insulating outer panes. The home flows with gracious ease: multiple living spaces connect naturally and can be privately enclosed with original pocket doors, making the layout equally suited to lively entertaining and quiet evenings. The formal dining room offers generous proportions for a proper dinner party. A loft at the top of the stairs serves beautifully as a home office or reading nook, and it opens onto one of the home's several porches. The completely reconstructed kitchen is where historic soul meets serious culinary function: New Jersey soapstone countertops, a custom-built china cabinet, a handsome venting hood, a BlueStar range and French door oven, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
