A Bespoke Property Presented by Gloria Nilson & Co. Real Estate
On a tree-lined site in the heart of Princeton, N.J., a home reposes with its surroundings, where the lush walled landscape seems to merge with carefully crafted, light-filled interiors providing ample and inviting spaces for entertaining intimately or on a grand scale. This house is an homage to one of the masters of 20th-century architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed in harmony with the physical surroundings, creating a natural flow between indoors and outdoors.FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT–INSPIRED RESIDENCE
The 10,800-square-foot structure was designed by William F. Shellman, late professor of modern architecture at Princeton University and by architect William H. Short, chosen by Wright to implement and oversee the construction of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. In keeping with Wright’s tradition of using a natural palette, the home was built using earth-toned brick with organic-hued wood and copper arts and crafts accents, interior walls highlighted with wood finishes, elegant wood floors and fireplaces throughout, and suffusing the interior with natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows.ENTERTAINING SPACES
Complementing the interior are the gardens, originally conceived by the late noted landscape architect Robert Zion, whose iconic works include inventing the ‘vest pocket’ park, exemplified by Paley Park near MoMA in Midtown Manhattan (a must-visit for students of landscape architecture from around the world). Separate spaces on either side of the house provide for both intimate and large gatherings and include a cascading water fountain as an accent.
