About This Home
As of June 2023- This home is truly one of a kind ... Price Improvement 2-22-2023 - Originally built in 1920, the home was torn down to the original basement, which is customary on tear downs in Princeton, and meticulously rebuilt with a new architectural floor plan and quality craftsmanship between 2005 and 2006 ... The original Stucco outer walls on the first floor were left intact to preserve the 100 year old look of the house, but the second floor was completely removed and rebuilt ... So, yesterday meets today in a truly spectacular way ... Two blocks from the shopping, restaurants and charm of Nassau Street, a short distance to the top rated Riverside Elementary school and not far from the Middle School and High School and Princeton University, the location is second to none ... And the house does not disappoint ... Entering the red door signifying good luck for all those who enter, there is a warmth that is felt throughout this bright and cared for home ... The home features wood floors and recessed lights everywhere ... The living room has a large picture window and another smaller side window allowing plenty of light and is highlighted by a gorgeous wood burning fireplace ... The chefs' kitchen has top of the line stainless steel appliances, including a six burner stove, a high efficiency stove hood, gorgeous backsplash, soft closing cabinets and drawers, granite counters and plenty of counter space ... A full bath, dining room and den complete the first floor design ... Upstairs the Master Bedrooms opens up to a Magnificent 2nd floor bath that is also accessible to the other two upstairs bedrooms ... The washer and dryer are also hidden away on the 2nd floor for convenience ... A full unfinished basement with a freezer that will stay can be used for storage ... Outside there is a one car garage that was completely rebuilt in the same timeframe as when the house was redone circa 2005 and a fully fenced in backyard with a paver patio.... This house has been lovingly maintained the past 18 years by the couple who had the home rebuilt and by the current owner and truly represents Princeton Living at its best ... The commuting bus directly to Port Authority picks up on Nassau Street five blocks away and the shuttle train is on the other side of Princeton University to take commuters to the Princeton Junction train station ... Add all this to a top rated school system with the younger ones within a mile of the very highly rated Riverside Elementary school ........ WOW!!..
