The Harvey House | A Historic Farmhouse with Modern Comfort and Timeless Charm: Set on nearly .78 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, The Harvey House is a masterfully restored 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath farmhouse with a separate finished barn, and a private backyard oasis all backing to 52 acres of preserved land that was once part of the historic Princeton Nursery. Originally constructed in the early 1900s with the adjacent barn dating to 1880 this was the original homestead of what became the largest nursery in the United States. Today, it stands as one of five restored residences in this storied enclave, and has been completely transformed from the inside out. After decades of abandonment, the home was fully gutted and renovated in 2011 with all-new plumbing, electric, HVAC, insulation, and systems. A stunning second-floor primary suite addition followed in 2018, with walkin shower, soaking tub, and dual walkin closets, seamlessly blending new comforts with the home's historic integrity. Inside, approximately 2,700 square feet of living space includes light-filled rooms, a third-floor loft, and timeless finishes throughout. Outside, the private yard features a heated gunite pool with spa, split rail fencing, and a backdrop of trees and sky that stretches into the protected nursery land beyond. The historic barn offers even more versatility: its second floor is finished with a large loft and full bath, along with its own dedicated heating and cooling, ideal for a studio, office, or guest space. This street is a hidden gem quiet, close-knit, and rarely available. Families have stayed here for years, watching their offspring grow up together and neighbors become lifelong friends. With only one home having sold in recent memory, opportunities here are truly rare. An added amenity is the D&R Canal towpath can be accessed directly from the back yard providing trails from New Brunswick to Trenton, and from Trenton to Frenchtown.
