“The Bouwerie” 建于 1772 年,由一位荷兰农民建造,是普林斯顿最具标志性的建筑之一。作为乔治·华盛顿占领普林斯顿期间的一处宅邸,它于 1991 年进行了翻修,精心保留了其原始细节:手工凿成的横梁、松木地板、步入式蜂巢壁炉、通往曾经饲养马匹的书房和半浴室的石阶,以及被代尔夫特时期瓷砖环绕的燃木壁炉。整个新建部分都采用了回收的白松和心松木地板以及内部和外部的串珠和齿状装饰线条,以补充 18 世纪的真实细节。从新建房屋的前门进入,人们的目光立即被令人惊叹的艺术彩色玻璃天窗吸引。门厅、优雅的客厅、家庭室、日光浴室和化妆间里随处可见手工制作的橱柜、特制灯具和定制绘画。两个燃木壁炉在寒冷的日子里增添了温暖。原有房屋的主聚会室已被改造成更新后的乡村厨房旁的休息区,厨房内设有砖砌的 Aga 炉灶、松木橱柜和用手工雕刻的木制线条围起来的早餐角。厨房下方是一个装修完毕的空间,非常适合用作家庭影院、游戏室或健身房。原有房屋的二楼可通过螺旋形木制楼梯进入,提供设备齐全的客房,包括两间卧室、一间游戏室和两间全功能浴室,可通过另一个入口将其隔离以保护隐私。扩建部分的二楼与室外甲板相连,设有三间卧室、四间浴室、一间洗衣房和一间漂亮的主卧套房,主卧套房设有带燃气壁炉的休息区、更衣室、按摩浴缸、桑拿浴室、双淋浴蒸汽浴室、健身壁龛和两个室外门廊。室外,一个大型烧烤露台区俯瞰着池塘,而一个地下热水浴缸和一个 52 英尺长的椭圆形游泳池(边缘消失)俯瞰着壮观的英式花园。一条林间小路沿着池塘潺潺的支流延伸至 Stony Brook。为了体现原有住宅的审美精神,车库被扩建,可容纳四辆车和一间上层办公室或公寓。The Bouwerie 经过彻底而周到的翻新,不仅保留了宝贵的当地历史美国风情,还使其成为普林斯顿最非凡的住宅之一。
Built in 1772 by a Dutch farmer, "The Bouwerie" is one of Princeton's most iconic properties. As a homestead during George Washington's occupation of Princeton, it was renovated in 1991 with meticulous attention to the preservation of its original details: hand-hewn beams, pine flooring, a walk-in Beehive fireplace, stone steps leading to a study and half bath that once housed horses, and a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by period Delft tiles. Reclaimed white-pine and heart-pine flooring, as well as interior and exterior beaded and dentil moldings were employed throughout the new addition to complement the authentic 1700's detailing. Entering through the front door of the home's new addition, one's eye is immediately drawn up to a stunning, artistic stained-glass skylight. Handmade cabinetry, specialty light fixtures, and custom painting abound in the foyer, the elegant living room, the family room, the sunroom, and the powder room. Two wood-burning fireplaces add cozy warmth on chilly days. The main gathering room of the original house has been transformed into a sitting area off of an updated country kitchen, which features a brick enclosed Aga range, pine cabinetry, and a breakfast nook enclosed with hand-carved wooden moldings. Below the kitchen is a finished space perfect for a home theater, playroom, or exercise. The second floor of the original home is accessed by a spiral, wooden staircase and offers fully appointed guest quarters, including two bedrooms, a playroom and two full baths, which can be secluded for privacy through another entrance. Adjoined by an outside deck, the second floor of the addition features three bedrooms, four baths, a laundry room, and a beautiful master suite boasting a sitting area with gas fireplace, dressing room, jetted tub, sauna, a double shower steam room, an exercise alcove, and two outdoor porches. Outside, a large bar-b-que patio area overlooks a pond, while an in-ground hot tub and a 52-foot oval pool with vanishing edge look over a spectacular English knot garden. A wooded path follows a burbling tributary stream from the pond and leads to Stony Brook. In the aesthetic spirit of the original home, the garage was expanded to accommodate four cars and an upper-level office or apartment. The thorough and thoughtful renovation of the The Bouwerie has resulted not only in the valuable preservation of local-history Americana, but also one of the most extraordinary homes in Princeton.
