From the Agent: "Calling all history buffs and midcentury enthusiasts. Now is your chance to own a piece of Princeton’s past with this one-of-a-kind house designed by Wynant D. Vanderpool Jr. for celebrated mathematician Atle Selberg. Currently located in the Institute for Advanced Study neighborhood, this residence has been recognized as significant due to both its design and Selberg’s important work. Yet, only the structure is being sold and it must be relocated. However, given its history and wonderful bones, it will be well worth it. This is an unrivaled opportunity to preserve a piece of Princeton’s history while creating new memories in a location of your choosing."

The well-preserved, wood-and-brick residence features a striking overhanging roof.
