About This Home

As of February 2025

Top of the Line!

Nicely renovated by a local master craftsman, this large two-bedroom, two-full-bath Winchester model with a two-car garage is located a stone's throw from Windrows Hall and most of the services and amenities Windrows offers.

One of the highlight features of this home is the thoughtfully designed spacious garden, off the grade-level rear deck, that attracts the native fauna. Once inside the home, you'll be treated to a redesigned floor plan that boasts an array of tasteful fixtures and finishing touches that make home life a convenient pleasure.

Do you like to cook? The re-designed eat-in kitchen with induction cooktop and convection oven, Sub-Zero fridge, under-counter microwave, vented hood, Miele dishwasher, and a prep area on the huge center island with plenty of seating offer the perfect opportunity to flex your culinary skills.

The living area has a flush-mounted fireplace with Mercer Tile accents, recessed lighting, and premium, low-maintenance, composite flooring. The versatile dining room is currently used as a Den.

The Main Bedroom has been redesigned to accommodate a king-size bed and headboard. The full bath has heated flooring and towel bars. The double vanity flows nicely to the walk-in tiled shower.

The large 2nd bedroom is adjacent to the renovated hall bath with a heated floor and towel bars.

Walk-Ins and lighted hall closets as well as a finished storage attic will make downsizing a bit less stressful.

This home is a true GEM at Princeton Windrows.
