About This Home

As of May 2025

From its prime location, just steps from Nassau St, this home with an interesting history has been lovingly renovated to today s lifestyle requirements but also honors its past. The wrap round porch which was added by the current owners makes a dramatic entrance, deep enough for rocking chairs, it invites you to come and sit a while. The first floor has many original features which blend seamlessly with the updates through out. The rooms have high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. Original trim accentuates the ceiling height in the living room and the dentil detail is mirrored in the fireplace mantel that surrounds the gas fireplace. The dining room with its window seats under the two bay windows overlooking the yard are inviting spots to sit and the room has access to a private patio courtyard that is at the front of the home. A butler s pantry, with lots of storage leads into the kitchen and rear of the home. Soapstone counters a top the white cabinetry give a timeless appeal and the pressed tin backsplash and exposed brick honor the home s past. To complete the first floor there is a mud room entry and half bath. The second floor is home to three of the four bedrooms of the home and hall bath. The large master suite on the third floor is an oasis. The large space is divided into a sitting and sleeping area. Built in bookcases encourage you to sit and read for a while. The large bath has an oversized shower with double shower heads and a double vanity, the dressing area has lots of closet space and natural light. Don t forget to visit the rec room that was converted from the garage what a great spot to hang out! The basement is unfinished but great for storage. This property is a double lot (16 and 20 Murray) Block 51.02 Lots 38 and 39. Also of note the house is a member of the exclusive Moved Buildings of Princeton club.
