About This Home

As of July 2025

Every buyer knows location matters most, and it doesn’t get any better than this if you want to be close to Princeton’s fantastic schools and the many conveniences of the revitalized shopping center. Even in this central location, traffic is minimal, giving the big backyard behind this classic cape a peaceful feel. While the house has curb appeal to spare, the interior is ready for updates. Hardwood flooring spans the living room with a fireplace, as well as the two main level bedrooms. The kitchen has space for a dining in and a door opening out to the bluestone patio. The upper level is full of potential and natural light, while the basement is already finished. Of course, in this prime location, expanding or building brand new are viable options.

This house is being sold "as is". The owner had inherited the house and has not lived in it.
