About This Home

As of December 2020

Looks are deceiving! This Littlebrook split-level colonial has a modern vibe instituted by an architect's hand. Cathedral beamed ceiling coupled with a very "hip" open- post wall installation of an upper bedroom turned office, gives a forward-thinking spin to this 1960's property. A front porch surrounded by flowers and gardens greets you outside and upon entry, the spacious living room with angled fireplace catches your eye. An open railing across the back hallway and the view of the office area above the living room makes for a dynamic balance of space. The kitchen is bright and cheery with plenty of white cabinets and counters along with stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows into a large dining area that can hold a crowd and still have room for sideboards at either end. A glass French door from the dining area opens to a side screen porch with a vaulted ceiling and more room for entertaining outdoors or just pass the summer away with a good book and an iced tea. The upper level offers 3 to 4 bedrooms (the 4th bedroom was opened and is now being used as an office). The master bedroom with dual closets has a master bath and 2/3 bedrooms share the hall bath. The lower level has expansive space that is divided into a playroom and family room with large windows that overlook the private backyard; a full bathroom and a den/study are also on this level as well as access to the one car garage. Just off the family room is an unfinished basement that is perfect for storage or additional living space should one prefer. Hardwood flooring on the main and upper levels, custom built-in bookcase in the family room and a cherry cabinet bookcase in the living room are ready for your collection. The grounds are private as the home backs to playing fields of Grover Park, with easy access to Princeton Shopping Center for groceries, restaurants, gym, hardware, pharmacy and more. A sidewalk across the street is used as cut-through for children to walk to Littlebrook Elementary and a sidewalk on the other side of the brook leads to Grover Park. Just minutes away, one can enjoy the exciting mix of town in Princeton's Palmer Square, where the University, library, theater, shopping and restaurant scene are yours for the taking.
