Classic Thompson Design Overlooking Coventry Farm

5 Coventry Farm Lane, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 United States

One corner of picture-perfect Coventry Farm is dotted with cottages akin to those found in English country villages. These darling dwellings bask in bucolic views of land loved by the same family for generations, once a dairy farm, now a working vineyard. Some of these homes were repurposed farm structures, while others were built to complement the setting. This home stands out among the others with its charming dormer windows, metal roof and breezy glass entryway. It was designed by local architect William Thompson, known for his classic colonial style. Inside, an open great room has richly hued wood floors and a fireplace anchoring one end. A jewel-box kitchen with Quartz countertops, glass-front cabinetry and a sparkling stainless Samsung gas range is perfectly efficient and pleasantly bright. This cottage offers the option of single level living with a corner first floor suite. The upper suite is positively spacious with a second bright white bath, extra eave storage and separately controlled A/C. The outdoor living is a big draw at this property thanks to a stone-edged paver patio joined by a lawn and pretty garden plantings, all enclosed by a split-rail fence that keeps surrounding farm views unobstructed. Follow the lane toward Mountain Lakes Preserve or head to town, just 2 miles away. The beautiful grounds of renowned Princeton Day School are also right across the street. A rare blend of town and country!
