Historic Glencairn

Princeton, New Jersey

$1,950,000

Just three miles from Princeton and currently operating as a Condé Nast award-winning Bed and Breakfast, this storied property could continue its tradition as a beloved area inn or be returned to a single-family home with space to grow. A celebrated hospitality destination with the feel of a private estate, the home’s stone foundation dates to 1697, anchoring it in centuries of American history. The floor plan includes six en-suite bedrooms, two of which are multi-room suites, a spacious kitchen with a large walk-in pantry, formal rooms, a home office, and the great room with a walk-in fireplace in the oldest part of the house. Three historic outbuildings on the deep lot include a relocated 19th-century barn serving as a three-bay garage, a stone smokehouse, and stone stables. Featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NJ Countryside, and numerous local publications, here is a turnkey opportunity to own a piece of the area’s rich history with an invitation to write its next chapter!

I was blown away when I learned about MakeMyMove!

Have you ever looked at one of these houses and thought, “Okay, but how would I actually move there!?”

Did you know that cities and towns of all sizes are launching amazing incentive programs in order to attract talent and grow their local workforce?

MakeMymove connects YOU with these incentive programs. There are options in Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Kansas, Georgia and more coming online regularly (a few in areas featured in this very newsletter!).

In addition to cash, communities are offering things like free co-working space, gym memberships, potluck welcome dinners, coffee with the mayor, free summer camp for kids, and continued education opportunities at local universities. Most of the communities are recruiting remote workers, but some are starting to offer incentives for those who accept local positions.

There’s an AWESOME customer care team at MakeMyMove and in the local communities that really help people get connected to the community before the move - to help with house hunting, evaluating schools, and getting connected to any other services.
