About This Home

As of July 2017

A charming paver courtyard entry welcomes you to the front door of this Princeton ranch with one-of-a-kind features you just won't find anywhere else. Wood floors stretch through the house with no shortage of naturally illuminated space. Skylights were fitted into the deep roof to provide soothing light from above in several spaces. The living room centers around a woodburning fireplace. Sliders here and in the adjoining dining room allow for pretty views and easy access to the picturesque yard with patio and bridge across the brook that runs through it. An organized mudroom and large walk-in storage closet side the gourmet kitchen with its suite of topline appliances and gorgeous granite island with additional seating. Three bedrooms each connect directly to a distinctive bathroom. A sun-filled den or office can double as a guest bedroom with walk-in closet at the opposite end of the house with slider to the patio. Although you may not want to leave this tranquil setting, the thriving pulse of downtown Princeton is just minutes away. Owner is a licensed realtor.
