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.

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.
