About This Home

As of December 2024

A sunny spot at the quiet end of the lane and an open design with lustrous wood floors and pristine white walls make this Princeton townhouse in meticulously manicured Governors Lane feel like a breath of fresh air. Simple, yet striking, columns mark the entrance to the living room with one of 3 gas fireplaces. The large dining room is handsomely lined with paneled wainscoting. New appliances were installed in the cherry and granite kitchen within the last year. With a soaring ceiling, skylights and a French door to the courtyard, the adjoining family room is remarkably airy. Outside, the strategically placed garage enhances privacy and shelters a koi pond from the sun. The entire second floor is devoted to the master suite, complete with a sitting room, or a fourth bedroom,plentiful closets, laundry, his bath with steam shower and her bath with soaking tub. Above, two more bedrooms share a bright white bath. Carpeting on the finished lower level was recently replaced and a Bose sound system, found throughout the house, enhances a built-in media center. One time capital contribution fee of $6000 and Refundable move in and out fee 1000$. Owner can consider rental opportunity.
