About This Home

As of May 2016

This is a property with fabulous opportunities in a great Princeton location! You will love the space and light in this deceptively large Princeton classic home.

The original house has been expanded to a sun-filled great room off the updated kitchen with its own eating area. While sitting on deck enjoy the beautiful fenced-in-yard and privacy. The lower level has a separate back entry which allows access to home-office/den, large bedroom (you can easily add a full bath), laundry and powder room, plus the one-car garage. Upstairs you have three airy and light bedrooms and newly refurbished full second bath. The spacious master suite features a huge walk-in-closet and a stylish master bath with heated floors. The icing on the cake is the location!! Walking distances to downtown and shopping center, plus close to Elementary, Middle and High schools. You have benefit of a great house with large yard, urban life style combined with great location!!!Turn key. Will add closet to in-law suite upon closing to make it a 4th bedroom.
