About This Home

As of March 2024

Welcome to the epitome of modern living in this impeccably updated home, located in the immediate vicinity of downtown Princeton. This thoughtfully renovated residence radiates a contemporary and stylish atmosphere, boasting a spacious open floor plan adorned with beautiful hardwood flooring, modern amenities and updated throughout.
Transformation is the hallmark of 154 Bayard lane and as you step into the open and flowing floor plan you will begin to experience the transformation that comes with abundant natural light and impeccable updates. As you begin your tour be sure to notice the seven new interior doors, freshly painted walls, ceilings, and tech-savvy features such as Google Nest Wi-Fi thermostats, new outlets, new wiring throughout, new light switches, new dimmers, new handrails, new baseboard trim and new recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen is a masterpiece with KitchenAid appliances, an oversized Krauss stainless steel sink, quartz countertops, beautifully stained new crown moldings, and stained custom solid wood cabinetry featuring two L-shaped corner cabinets, a lazy Susan, and pull-out pots and pans shelves. Luxurious bathrooms feature Carrera marble counters; porcelain sinks; modern fixtures; a tankless toilet in the upstairs bathroom; and one-piece toilets in the other two baths; all of which have soft close seats. Other noteworthy interior updates include a brand new energy efficient air conditioning unit.

Sleep comfortably in your like-new bedrooms knowing that all of your appliances throughout the home are less than two years old and you have new fire and carbon monoxide detectors. One of the bedrooms offers use as an en-suite guest room or in-law area. Your walk-out lower-level space offers an open area for lounging & relaxing, exercising, a playroom, or a home office. In addition, it offers a half bath, a GE washer and a dryer, simplifying your day-to-day living. Every detail in this home was thought about and completed allowing you the opportunity to simply unpack and enjoy!

The transformation does not stop with the new and modern interior; now step outside and enjoy your outdoor space. A long, wide driveway with rare in-town parking capable of accommodating up to 5 cars! From a new fence, mailbox, limestone/concrete steps, and a meticulously crafted front walkway making a welcoming and warm entry to the home. The exterior showcases a limewashed brick facade, new gutters, a rebuilt chimney, and a new roof with architectural asphalt shingles. With upgraded James Hardie fiber cement siding, Certainteed Restoration Millwork PVC trim boards, and a Google Nest Wi-Fi front doorbell for security, this home embraces the future while offering easy living and location. With all of the updates to this home already done you get to enjoy the large level yard and evenings on your brand new patio off of the kitchen.

In addition to the updates and amenities offered this home is located close to Princeton University, local schools, and Downtown Princeton with its college charms, restaurants, and shops. This home is a short stroll to Princeton's famed 'Community Park,’ which offers tennis courts, three pools, a new dog park, a running path, basketball, and more. This residence seamlessly combines modern updates with a prime location for a truly exceptional living experience. Welcome home to the perfect fusion of style, comfort, and convenience.
