The mid-century modern N.J. home was designed by the architect who also designed New Jersey’s exhibit at the 1964 World’s Fair.

Tucked back from the road behind trees, on a 1.4-acre wooded lot near Princeton, New Jersey, sits a custom-built home. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 3,400 square feet of living space. And the abundance of windows and angular construction that fans of mid-century modern architecture love.

“I refer to it as a square donut,” said Christine Mariano, the listing agent with Corcoran Sawyer Smith. “It has four sides with a courtyard in the middle.”article from December 2000, Oates talked about the floor-to-ceiling windows in the gathering rooms and sliding glass doors to the center courtyard. She talked about the English Tudor architecture she loved as a girl but after living at the Honeybrook Drive home, she said she can’t imagine being without so much natural light.

The home has original hardwood and slate tile floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and the owners updated the kitchen with handmade cherry cabinets. There are floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, dining room and hallway as well as doors leading to the center courtyard and back patio. Oates put on an addition when she owned the home. It includes a family room, a room with a workbench and a room she used as a writing room.

“It’s a very cool house. It has a wooded front yard, a wooded backyard,” Mariano said. “It’s 10 minutes from downtown Princeton, near corporate offices, but it feels like you’re living much further away from civilization.”You can live in a restored bank with long history for $225K: Cool SpacesIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
