About This Home
As of December 2021Striking a delicate balance between sophisticated in-town living and artist retreat, this picturesque home in the heart of Princeton is full of wonderful surprises. Starting with the outdoors spaces, find a lovely covered front porch where you can sit and watch the world go by. Beyond two off-street parking spots, a gate opens to a private rear yard with bluestone patios and lush plantings. A charming cottage here offers both electricity and running water and is an ideal spot to let the creative juices flow. Inside the main house, an updated kitchen with breakfast area will satisfy mid-week meals. When entertaining, the adjacent formal dining room oozes with style, featuring elegant trims and a glorious bay window. The living room is equally well-dressed and cozied by a fireplace. A romantic entrance hall with a powder room has stairs that climb to generously-sized bedrooms and a renovated bathroom. Storage is abundant in both a full basement and walk-up attic. Laundry is on the first floor.
