Henderson Sotheby's International Realty is pleased to present Tusculum. A beautiful allee of Zelkova trees welcomes you to Princeton's most historic estate in private hands. This important stone and clapboard house was originally built in 1773 by the Rev. John Witherspoon, a leading patriot, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and 6th president of Princeton University. The house was completely restored and enlarged by its present owners in 1998, under the direction of Princeton architect, T. Jeffrey Clarke. The estate is located in Princeton Township just minutes from Princeton's town center and the University. It consists of a main residence, magnificent stone embankment barn, caretaker's cottage, and numerous farm outbuildings dating from the 18th-20th century. All buildings have been recently repaired, restored or re-built. Tusculum retains its historic farm context but serves as a residence for luxurious modern living. Its main house and barn readily accommodate entertaining on a large scale. The elegant wine cellar holds 2,000 bottles and is entered through the special tasting room. Property (6.9 acres) is available for $1,750,000. Subject to Township subdivision approval. Princeton Township, NJ.
