About This Home
As of December 2021Welcome to this classic, Steadman-style colonial with a lovely front porch nestled in the heart of Princeton. On a leafy tree street, around the corner from Nassau Street and a few blocks from Palmer Square, this quiet property is a standout. The classic lines of the main house are complemented by the modern vibe of the newly-built studio beckoning across a lush and verdant garden -- all ready for enjoying and entreating. A private and quiet backyard with mature trees, pretty garden and a bluestone patio is right outside the comfortable, sunny eat-in kitchen. 1-st floor laundry; central A/C; wood floors throughout and the many original details throughout the house are just some of the features to be mentioned.
A major bonus is the elegant, 2-year old detached studio in the backyard with its own modern full bathroom, a sleeping loft and a private patio overlooking a koi and lilies pond.
Possibilities are endless, only a half block from Nassau Street -- work from home without work taking over your home; have long-term house guests; enjoy a hobby in a dedicated space, etc.
2-car driveway parking.
