Pretty Brook Road, Estate of the Day
For a while Tusculum was the most expensive property listed in Princeton, New Jersey. It's lingered on the market for two years and is now down to $9.75 million from a high of $12 million when it was our estate of the day. On top now is this charming Georgian manor house on 22 acres. The brick home and matching outbuildings share a classic style. The gracious older home is decorated in a formal style that makes you want to sit up a little straighter. It includes a breakfast room, conservatory and six bedrooms including a master suite. Things get a little more laid back on the third floor which is where you find the home theater, a wet bar and exercise room. The property also has a pool, tennis courts, six-car garage, backup garage, separate office with mahogany paneling and a billiard room, a caretaker's apartment and a greenhouse. It is listed at $14.5 million.

This is a charming place except for one thing. What is it with these ugly media rooms. Why not get some nice furniture. Some nice couches. Anything but chairs lined up like your in a theater. Does no one know how to make a nice cozy media room?

I agree with your comment on the home theater.
Does anyone know why often comments submitted do not result in confirmation e-mails (and are therefore not posted)??
I tried to submit this comment twice yesterday.

I love this. From the graceful stairway to the conservatory to the wisteria. I have to agree with Zoey's comment about the media room, however. It looks unfinished compared to the rest of the house.

Fugly, from the giant parking lot at the entrance to the hideous 1980s "french country" decor.
I hope the person who buys this makes the effort to fix it up.

To each her own, Kate. I think this is one of the most gracious and beautiful homes/estates inside and outside, ever posted on Luxist.
Makes me wonder why it's for sale at all.
