About This Home

As of July 2022

Some clever modifications and expertly completed updates overseen by architect Max Hayden transformed this in-town Colonial into a sunny and stylish home that's a joy to live in. A palette of soft blues and bright whites flows through the newly open floor plan featuring additional windows and french doors that highlight the delightful backyard. Between the privacy fence and organic garden beds designed by McCoy, a gate opens to the paths and playground of Quarry Park, just one of the many perks this heart-of-Princeton location offers! A well-placed window above the renovated kitchen's deep sink also frames garden views. A quartz-topped peninsula and Samsung appliances, including a 4-door refrigerator and sleek range hood, further the modern functionality and airy look of this beautifully reimagined space. Wood floors ascend up the stairs to 3 bedrooms, each with double exposures. The hall bath is fresh as can be with pretty tilework. A second full bathroom was added downstairs to the lower level, greatly improving the versatility of a finished game room. With so many destinations practically at your doorstep, you may opt to live car-free and keep only bikes in the detached garage!
