Share the love and craftsmanship of this 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath Italianate home on 1.4 acres on one of Princeton most historical Streets. According to one historian account, Dr. Earnest Schenk relocated from Prussia Germany in 1856 to prominent Princeton to establish his practice in America. Various historians had conflicting views on an exact date Dr. Schenk and his wife moved into the home. Even though Dr. Schenk owned 180 acres of land he picked this beautiful location for him, his wife & eventually 5 children. We found that at least one of his daughters and his wife resided in the home long after his death. This home is perched on beautiful corner lots. Just far enough back for privacy and close enough to all Historical Princeton has to offer. It was built in the mid 1800's and belonged to a prominent Doctor and his family for many years.
