About This Home

Tucked within a classic Princeton neighborhood where timeless architecture still sets the tone, this home is the kind that reveals its charms slowly and rewards you for lingering. A side screened porch feels made for iced tea, while the backyard, bordered by vine-draped fencing, exudes an easy elegance. Inside, every room feels intentional. The formal living and dining rooms, graced with built-ins and thoughtfully scaled, hint at another era, though atrium doors opening to a patio give the dining room a contemporary lift. Entertaining moves fluidly from indoors to out, especially with the expanded kitchen and family room wing. Here, a farmhouse sink, glass-front cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances create a kitchen that's as hardworking as it is beautiful. A gallery-like hall and a serene first-floor primary suite complete the addition. Upstairs, three more bedrooms share a crisply updated bathroom finished with a marble-topped double vanity and tub-shower combo. Out back, two sheds hide away life’s practicalities, letting the house and its storybook setting do all the talking.
