Some homes are built. Others become part of a community's history. Welcome to the Watts A. Johnson Home, one of Princeton's most distinguished Queen Anne residences. Built in 1900 and thoughtfully restored over the past 16 years, this remarkable property blends timeless architecture with the confidence of modern updates-offering the rare opportunity to own a true local landmark without sacrificing today's comforts. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.77-acre corner lot, the home immediately captivates with its iconic turret, wraparound porch, and stately presence.

Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable family life, the home offers spacious gathering rooms, elegant architectural details, abundant natural light, and a seamless balance of historic character and modern functionality. Every room tells a story, from intricate millwork and original details to thoughtfully updated kitchens, baths, and mechanical systems. The investment in this home extends far beyond its beauty. Recent improvements include a new roof, tankless water heater, replacement lead-free water service, radon mitigation system, updated zoned boiler system, brick patio, fencing, and countless restoration projects completed with an unwavering commitment to preserving the home's original character while ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Adding to its rarity is the original carriage house, a distinctive feature that offers exceptional flexibility for storage, hobbies, workshop space, or future possibilities.
