About This Home
Welcome to this rare find in Princeton's desirable Western Section: an attractive colonial with classic good looks and sensible updates, sitting pretty on a verdant lot of nearly an acre. From the curb, the wood-sided exterior with its perfect proportions and lush landscaping sets an inviting tone. Inside, the foyer opens to generously sized, light-filled rooms that flow naturally for family living and entertaining. Sunny and spacious, the living room stretches front to back, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and a charming window seat with tranquil backyard views. Next door, the formal dining room opens through French doors to a beautiful, screened-in tiled patio with skylights overhead—ideal for relaxed dinners, morning coffee or evening gatherings under the stars. The kitchen is sunny, smart, and streamlined: a generous center island topped with polished quartzite, stainless appliances, abundant storage, and seamless access to a highly functional mudroom with a built-in bench, hooks, and pantry—keeping family chaos beautifully contained. A step down, the expansive family room impresses with a vaulted ceiling, a second wood-burning fireplace, and French doors to a broad deck overlooking the very private backyard. A bright, bookcase-lined office with pleasant front-yard views and a convenient powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, three well-proportioned, sun-drenched bedrooms share a classic hall bath with a tub. A double linen closet is right nearby. The primary suite feels especially generous—boasting a full wall of custom wardrobes, and overlooking the lovely backyard. The modern en-suite bath features a marble walk-in shower, double vanity, and a very large linen closet. The finished lower level adds valuable extra living space with recessed lighting, windows for natural brightness, a third full bath, a laundry area, and open space for a play area, gym, or media setup. The home, only a mile away from the vibrant downtown, is enveloped by quiet, tree-lined streets perfect for morning runs, leisurely walks, and a serene neighborhood atmosphere. Freshly painted, hardwood floors refinished and with Princeton schools nearby, this home is ready to please. Come take a look!
