About This Home
As of July 2019Passersby will pause on the sidewalk to admire the hydrangeas and hostas fronting this freshened 3-4 bedroom in the historic Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Newly painted front steps lead to the enclosed sunroom, bright with 3 exposures of transomed windows. Hardwoods line the entrance hall, and connecting living and dining rooms; rosette-trimmed windows and doorways add a bit of charm. High ceilings make the eat-in kitchen feel even larger; formica counters and wood cabinets provide easy practicality. A full bath and laundry combination joins a second full bath upstairs that serves 3 bright bedrooms, one with new carpeting. The basement opens via Bilco doors to the shared gravel drive and 3 off-street parking spaces. Sidewalks lead the way to the wonderful Princeton Public Library, Arts Council, and too many fine eateries and shops to count! (Township records count middle first floor room as a 4th bedroom) Sale AS-IS
