About This Home

As of July 2021

Bright, spacious, open townhome located on the Princeton border, close to Route 1 and everything the area has to offer. Situated in a private cul-de-sac, the home is nestled with a clutch of neighbors in a discreet yet friendly atmosphere. A wall of living room glass overlooking a tucked-away front patio greets you with a promise of a bright interior. A new light fixture and recessed lights in the ample living and family rooms lead you to a fresh, upgraded kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances and custom window shades. The wood-burning fireplace in the family room is flanked by a tall window and French door, both sporting new custom window shades. The rear door opens to a back patio that complements the larger private one at the front of the home. A stairway with freshly painted spindles leads to three bedrooms on the second floor, served by an upgraded main bath and a laundry room that's home to a new washer and dryer couple. The primary bedroom shows off its new fan suspended from a vaulted ceiling, upgraded bath, custom window shades and a custom closet system. Not to be outdone, the second and third roomy bedrooms are proud of their own custom closet organizers as well. The attached garage with its painted floor and extra storage shelving is a most welcome amenity, allowing covered parking for one car and a driveway spot for another. Canal Pointe is as practical as it is pretty: Market Fair is nearby, downtown Princeton not much farther, a train station serving the Northeast Corridor Line is in the township itself and shopping is plentiful in all directions. What's not to love? Make 2 Kensington Court your next home!
