Charming 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Victorian style home, located in the heart of downtown Princeton, around the corner from shops, restaurants, entertainment, and Princeton University!

Inside, you will find sophisticated paint colors and wall finishes, as well as custom tilework and recessed lighting, which serve to inspire and set the mood. This home has been lovingly updated with modern updates and some of the original antique integrity, as seen in the original wood entry door, original staircase with pineapple finial at the base, and Victorian turret found in the living room and master bedroom. Many updates throughout including all wood Pella windows, two gorgeous sunrooms (one which could be used as a 5th bedroom), and remodeled bathrooms. The modern European style master bathroom features a deep claw foot soaking tub and a bidet. The Chefs kitchen has been updated with dark cherry cabinets, quartz counters, and stainless steel appliances, including a professional Viking range! Yards of counter space are found in the kitchen to practice your culinary skills.

The primary bedroom located on the second floor is spacious and has two very large closets. Conveniently located on the second floor is the laundry room with a newer washer and dryer (2018). This traditional but modern home offers two zone heating as well as two zone Carrier central air conditioning system, and a separate multi split heating/air conditioning system in the larger sunroom. The exterior is finished with vinyl siding designed to keep the home warm and dry, as well as offering low maintenance, and long-term solution to improve energy efficiency.
