About This Home

As of June 2016

With timeless good looks and an ideal Jugtown location, this classic Princeton colonial is easy moments away from the University and downtown's wonderful shops, eateries, and theaters. High ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors create a sense of enveloping warmth and light that radiates through open, spacious rooms with great flow. French doors and fireplaces cozy up the living and family rooms, lined with built-in bookshelves that are in nearly every room of the home. Dine in the big, open kitchen, or formal dining room lit by a big bay window. A graceful staircase leads to an office with its own Juliet balcony, 2 bedrooms served by a full bath, and the welcoming master with multiple closets and a blue and white en suite. A large, top-floor landing fans to 2 large bedrooms and a bath with a darling clawfoot tub. 1-car detached garage. There's so much charm in this lovely home, which captivates passersby with its deep front lawn, bluestone patio, and dogwood and maple-framed backyard with just the right space to garden. The perfect package!
