It may be the brick driveway, the elegant courtyard, or the welcoming screened front porch--there's just something about this Colonial Revival residence that makes you want to go inside. And once you do, you'll never want to leave.

The turn-of-the-century John Charles Fremont Mirick House, across from Princeton's charming town center, has panoramic views of the Boston skyline.  

It's a pristine "house beautiful" with tasteful renovations that embrace and enhance this home's elegant qualities, including a remodeled and enlarged country kitchen with soapstone counters, Heritage custom oak cabinetry, a 5-burner Thermador propane range, Jenn-Air stainless appliances, built-ins, a farmer's sink, and a cozy nook for reading or relaxing.

There are large picture windows and tall ceilings everywhere, creating light-filled spaces.  You can walk to the library and enjoy summer concerts on the Common from the stately screened porch.

This home is evocative of a gracious bygone era, with distinctive touches, including authentic alabaster light fixtures, carved woodwork, beautifully updated second floor baths, and a cozy family room created from a loft in the attached barn.

The 21st century renovations include 29 Marvin windows, a new septic system (2004), new furnace (2010), and exterior sanding and painting of front porch, front steps, and side deck (2018).

Ultimately, this home--this place--is about a lifestyle.  One that offers solace and tranquility, with the convenience of walking to the library, summer concerts, or morning coffee, in a friendly country town where you can actually hear yourself think, and where the sounds of nature--not the bustle of the city--will fill your heart and your home.
