About This Home

As of February 2018

In Montgomery Hills, a beloved townhome community on the edge of Princeton with a Princeton address, here's a bright and welcoming 2/3-bedroom offering with views of the woods from two outdoor areas. The foyer contains both a coat closet and a half bath and opens to the living room with fireplace. Wood floors unite this space with the dining room and sliders connect both to a covered terrace with storage. The galley-style kitchen is just the right size with a generous pantry. The walk-out lower level contains the laundry and with its high ceilings only requires a few creative enhancements to be a fantastic family room. From the second floor landing, find the main bedroom suite with a private bath. Wood floors are in all three bedrooms. Although you might want to add your own personal touches to this home, it is move-in ready. Top-rated Montgomery schools are yet one more reason to take a look!
