Montgomery Township, Estate of the Day

I love this one. A classic 1800s New Jersey farmhouse that has been given a classically lovely updating. The six-bedroom house is one 47 acres in Montgomery Township but the home boasts a Princeton mailing address. The grounds include a tennis court with a gazebo and cutesy blobs of shrubbery and a pool with a large pool house. The six bedroom main house includes a formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and plenty of rooms stuffed with cozy couches that are placed for conversation not for television watching. In fact I didn't spot a single giant television in any of the listing pictures, instead there is art over the fireplace. Truly beautiful. This property is listed at $8.5 million.

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.

Tusculum, Estate of the Day

It's no easy task to live in an older house especially one built in 1773. Tusculum was the summer home of Rev. John Witherspoon, a leading patriot, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and 6th president of Princeton University. When Avril and John Moore bought Tusculum in 1996 they undertook an epic remodel with restoration architect Jeffrey Clarke. An article on the HGTV website chronicles the work that took place. The old stone foundation had to be encased in concrete and the woodwork and mantels were refinished. The original house did have to be modified for modern conveniences like a gourmet kitchen, a family room and bedrooms. The property includes a main residence, stone embankment barn, caretakers' cottage and farm outbuildings dating from various years. All the outbuildings have been repaired, restored or re-built. The wine cellar holds 2,000 bottles and is entered through the special tasting room. It is listed at $12 million. After the jump, I think I'd rather live in the barn.
