Description

A Landmark Estate in Princeton: Set on 4.5 pristine acres bordering 100 acres of preserved woodland, 13 Hageman Road is a French Normandy–style masterpiece. Gated, landscaped, and timelessly designed, it offers private resort-style living with terraces, gardens, and a stunning pool retreat in one of Princeton’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Beyond a gated entrance, a circular Belgian block-lined driveway introduces the home, gracefully leading to the stately front façade and a side-entry three-car garage. Inside, the dramatic two-story foyer unfolds with soaring ceilings and a sweeping curved staircase. From here, the eye is drawn straight through to the magnificent two-story great room, where a wall of bay windows frames panoramic views of the stunning grounds. Throughout the home, refined details abound—gleaming hardwood floors, intricate mouldings, custom window treatments, and hand-selected light fixtures elevate every space. The formal living room, flooded with natural light from three exposures, offers an ideal setting for a grand piano or intimate conversation. Across the foyer, the dining room stands elegantly behind architectural columns, perfectly suited for gatherings both formal and relaxed. A richly panelled mahogany library—complete with gas fireplace, French doors, and a balcony—sets the stage for work, reading, or quiet reflection. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen combines beauty and function with a Viking Tuscany series six-burner gas range, SubZero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and expansive granite island with seating. French doors open to the bluestone patio, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary, entered through double doors to reveal a fireplace, private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a sitting room, and a sumptuous marble bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Three additional En-Suite bedrooms and a spacious, recently remodelled study—complete with built-ins and balcony access—offer comfort and versatility. The finished lower level, just 8 years young, was designed with entertaining and relaxation in mind. At its heart is a mahogany bar with stained-glass accents, a tin ceiling, and full appointments similar to the Waldorf Astoria —including a sink, ice maker, dishwasher and beverage fridge. Just beyond, the adjoining game room offers plenty of space for recreation and outside access to the professionally landscaped patio area. A media room with a raised-hearth stone fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a full wall of windows overlooking the patio and backyard provides an elegant yet comfortable setting for gatherings. A well-equipped gym and a gorgeous full bath complete this level, ensuring it is as functional as it is inviting. Outdoors, the property is a natural masterpiece by Princeton Land Design. Expansive bluestone patios, a gazebo, fountain, and an in-ground pool with separate spa are thoughtfully integrated into a landscape defined by massive boulders, mature trees, and manicured lawns. Backing to Woodfield Preserve, the grounds offer both serenity and privacy, with a fully deer-fenced yard creating the feel of your own secluded retreat. 13 Hageman Lane is a statement of timeless elegance and modern luxury in one of Princeton’s most beautiful settings, close to some of the area’s finest private schools and a short drive to downtown Princeton and the University.
