In 1920's Princeton, Rolf Bauhan was the architect of choice for the well-heeled and with good reason. His original designs employed the time-honored materials and displayed the elegant details that make a house worthy of admiration, both in the moment and for generations to come. While the solid brick exterior of Halcyon House has all the romance of an English Tudor, the rooms within are unexpectedly bright. Sunlight pours through leaded glass casement windows, transoms and French doors. Hardwood floors flow throughout and marble mantels with intricate designs grace the entertaining spaces, all of them sized for comfortably hosting a crowd. There are many ways to use the rooms that circulate around the gracious foyer, which itself is large enough to serve as the living room, complete with a grand piano. The family room has a deep window bay and a wet bar behind antique wooden doors. From the library, step out to the awning-covered patio to survey the sweeping, park-like yard. To the side, surrounded by a brick wall and parterre garden, a Roman-style pool basks in the sunshine. Guests popping over for a dip may enter through a charming gate hidden within the ivy. In addition to a separate brick garage, an attached garage is handy to the kitchen entrance. While the kitchen is ready for a refresh, plenty of space exists for cooking, dining and storage alongside the butler's pantry. A back staircase leads up to two guest rooms with a shared bathroom and the laundry, while the main stairs spiral up to the primary suite, an office and two more bedrooms with a walk through bath. The primary suite has the option of separate bathrooms, an old-fashioned amenity that seems positively luxurious today! Come imagine all the possibilities waiting at this special legacy property, totaling 2.0 acres, in a highly desired neighborhood adjoining the beautiful Hun School campus and only 1.2 miles to Nassau Street and Princeton University beyond.
