Can you guess which authors house is up for sale this time? Here is a hint: his book was made in to a movie with a distinctive theme song that starts like this…da dum, da dum, da dum, (getting faster) da dum. We can remember crawling under our seat in the theatre we were so scared. We’re sure you’ve guessed it; yes it’s the author of Jaws, Peter Benchley. His beautiful home is for sale in Princeton and it’s a stunner, no pun intended!

This home has it all! A movie theatre (of course), swimming pool, tennis court, gorgeous kitchen, seven bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half baths and amazing spaces throughout for entertaining be it formal or informal. All joking aside, this home is beautiful and Peter Benchley was an amazing man. Did you know that despite capitalizing on our fear of sharks, he was one of their biggest advocates? Many shark species are endangered, so Mr. Benchley spent a good amount of his time and energy trying to ensure their conservation. Please send us an email or give us a call if you would like to see this beautiful home. We also have 146 Hodge (former home of author, diplomat and historian George Kennan) for sale as well.

We’d be happy to show you both. Cheers! Sig&Syl

Pretty on Parkside
March 20, 2012If the thought of moving in to a home and not having to fix a thing appeals to you, then this is the home for you! A custom Spanish cedar front door welcomes all to this meticulously renovated brick and cedar colonial set on a hill near the Princeton Battlefield. A gracious foyer leads to a large living room and adjacent sunroom. A handsome dining room segues to a stunning kitchen with hand–painted custom cabinetry, mahogany island, and high-end appliances (Subzero, Wolfe, Viking, Miele). The fabulous great room overlooks the park-like yard and, like the rest of the home, enjoys an abundance of natural light. Also on the main floor is a cozy den/office with built-in Murphy bed. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-in closet, fireplace, and luxurious bath. The lower level boasts a rec room, laundry room, and wine cellar. From the copper roof and gutters to the custom millwork and fir interior doors with oil-rubbed bronze hardware, this Lewis Barber restoration is truly spectacular. A blue stone patio, stone retaining walls, and petanque court with a second patio complete this magnificent property! Check out the lovely pictures and floorplan at
