An architecturally one-of-a-kind brick residence in Princeton's coveted Western Section, where a sculptural turret staircase, a glass conservatory under solar skylights, and a private walkout in-law suite come together on a garden lot with a koi pond.
Set in Princeton's coveted Western Section, walkable to downtown and minutes from the train, 176 Westcott Road is a striking whitewashed-brick residence with genuine architectural personality. Its signature circular turret holds a sculptural open staircase that links three distinct floors, each tuned to a different rhythm of daily life.
The main level opens into a light-filled great room defined by classical Ionic columns and arched display niches, with oak hardwood floors throughout. The granite kitchen pairs a center island and gas cooktop with glass-front cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, flowing to the living and dining rooms and out to a sun-drenched conservatory wrapped in glass. A private primary suite, two guest bedrooms, and a hall bath complete the floor.
Crowning the conservatory and the entire top floor is an impressive collection of high-end, WiFi-enabled VELUX solar-powered skylights with motorized shades, more than $30,000 invested in natural light. The top level unfolds as one expansive, vaulted room beneath the skylights, with a convenient half bath and access to the brick-walled turret crown.
A walkout ground level adds a full in-law suite with its own private entrance: a curved exposed-brick great room with leaded-glass doors to the gardens, a kitchenette, a bedroom, and a full bath, ideal for extended family, guests, or a home office.
Outside, the privacy-walled grounds wrap the home with brick-paver paths, mature evergreens, perennial gardens, a wisteria-draped pergola, and a tranquil koi pond with its own waterfall. Recent updates bring peace of mind: a new roof with gutters and guards (2024), a newer high-efficiency air-conditioning zone, natural-gas hot-water baseboard heat in four zones, a 200-amp service with an EV charger, and radon testing on file. Set on 0.37 acre with a two-car garage in the Princeton Public Schools district, it is a home with character that is hard to find in this market.
The signature circular turret holds an open, sculptural staircase with an ornate iron vine railing and curved exposed-brick walls, linking all three floors.
