About This Home
As of January 2023Just a short stroll from the pulse of downtown, and three doors down from Einstein's former residence, this 1830's home adds its own quiet grace and elegance to one of Princeton's most historic streets. A Palladian window perches above the front door in a welcoming foyer, a hint of the home's warm charm: vintage details, original wood floors, and two wood-burning fireplaces, one to be found in the sun-washed living room. Glass doors in the family room and generous windows in the dining room frame views of a bluestone patio and deep, picturesque backyard. A mudroom area/storage pantry, handy to the driveway, serves an updated kitchen and matching butler's pantry lined with granite and ample cabinetry. Delightful with character and sunshine are a study and four bedrooms, including a suite, and the relaxed master with its own fireplace. Abundant storage can be found in ample built-in cabinetry, a full-height basement, and 1-car garage. Enjoy Princeton's fine dining, movies, shopping, theater - and leave the car at home! Blue ribbon school district.
