Step inside to find a charming living room featuring a gas fireplace and dining area, connecting to a generous family room. The hardwood floors with inlay design borders are attractive features of the period, adding to the home's timeless appeal. The welcoming floorplan invites access to the bright, airy eat-in kitchen from both the living and family rooms.

The charming, cedar-fenced backyard is designed to offer privacy, with mature evergreens and perennial ground cover, providing a serene outdoor space.

The attic, a 625-square-foot dormer-style space with staircase access, has nine windows that flood the area with natural light and is ready for completion with access for plumbing and electric. The unfinished basement with a workbench is a blank canvas for potential additional functional space. The detached garage, with its vintage-style sliding door, adds a touch of nostalgia while providing practical storage space. The home has seen several upgrades since 2020, including the addition of a heat pump/air conditioning system, while still retaining a great gas furnace. Smart washer and dryer, along with numerous cosmetic updates, enhance both functionality and aesthetics. The roof is newer (2015). Located just two blocks from the Grace N. Rogers Elementary School and within easy walking distance to the prestigious Peddie School, this home offers excellent curb appeal and a strong sense of community.

In spite of the idyllic setting, the property is also conveniently close to NJ Transit bus stops, NJ Transit and Amtrak Train Station in Princeton Junction, major roads including Routes 1, 130, 195, and 206, and only a 4 minute drive to the NJTPK.
