About This Home
As of June 2014This Governors Lane townhome is spotless, renovated and ready to go! As an end-unit in what is likely Princeton's prettiest carefree townhouse enclave, this beautifully appointed residence with decorator touches is especially prized. Oak floors and a soothing color scheme flow through each room. The large living room has a gas fireplace dressed with a custom mantle and a bay, while the dining room has 2 bays for valuable extra space. The kitchen was wisely opened up and equipped with a paneled fridge, Viking range and a deep sink surrounded by polished granite. French doors open to the walled patio and garage. A custom runner softens the stairs and points the way down to a media room with built-ins and a pristine full bath, as well as upstairs to the private spaces. A Bose sound system runs throughout and all mounted flat-screen TV's stay. The master level includes a study with built-ins and a second gas fireplace, his and hers stone-clad bathrooms separated by a row of custom closets, and the laundry. The sky-lit top floor has a bathroom with bead-board walls and hex tile floor between 2 bedrooms with loads of closet space, including cedar walk-ins.
