Grant Wagner

Born and raised in Central New Jersey, Grant Wagner has developed a deep and enduring appreciation for historic architecture and the stories embedded within it. From the grand estates of Princeton’s Western Section to early American farmhouses and thoughtfully restored residences, his work is grounded in a belief that exceptional houses are not simply lived in, but stewarded.

That perspective is personal. Grant’s first house was the 1688 Thomas Foulkes House, located in the historic village of Crosswicks in Chesterfield Township, New Jersey, an experience that shaped his understanding of historic homes at a fundamental level. Living within one of the region’s earliest residences instilled a lasting respect for craftsmanship, preservation, and the responsibility of ownership.

With a background spanning interior design, marketing, and sales, including experience with Christopher Peacock in Short Hills as well as West Elm and BoConcept in Princeton, Grant brings a refined and design driven perspective to the presentation of historic houses. He understands how to highlight original character while thoughtfully positioning a property for modern living.

Grant specializes in the representation of historic and architecturally significant properties, along with a select offering of distinctive residences and weekend retreats throughout the greater Princeton region, including Mercer, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Somerset, Burlington, and Middlesex counties. His approach is rooted in identifying what makes each house unique, from period details and craftsmanship to setting and provenance, and ensuring that story is clearly conveyed to the right audience.

A dedicated advocate for historic preservation, Grant is an active member of the Garden Club of Princeton, the Somerset Hills Historical Society, the Chesterfield Township Historical Society, and the Bordentown Historical Society. He is also a founding sponsor and co-chair of the Princeton Garden Tour, with meaningful involvement in initiatives with Morven Museum & Garden and the Historical Society of Princeton. These affiliations reflect his commitment not only to real estate, but to the continued preservation and appreciation of the region’s architectural heritage.

Grant resides in Warren, New Jersey, with his husband in a Colonial Revival house atop the Second Watchung Mountain. His personal and professional lives are closely aligned, both centered around architecture, landscape, and the enduring value of place.

With a nuanced understanding of the Central New Jersey market and a clear focus on historic properties, Grant is dedicated to representing houses of character and connecting them with buyers who will appreciate and steward them for years to come.
