About This Home

As of April 2021

This spacious home proudly perched in Princeton's Ettl Farm boasts pretty details that catch the eye immediately upon entry, like the central staircase that elegantly splits and ascends to a balcony brightened by a big arched window. Both formal rooms have windows topped with fanlights that echo the look. The family room, beyond, has a tall stone fireplace and French doors revealing a study outfitted with floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Wood cabinetry lines the open, eat-in kitchen with adjoining laundry and access to a Trex deck above the fenced yard. Hardwood transitions to brand new plush carpeting on the second floor, where two bedrooms share a crisp blue and white tiled bath and a princess suite enjoys a neutral bath of its own. The freshly painted master suite is large and inviting with a sitting room, private office with built-in desks, his and hers walk-in closets and a soothing bathroom with oversized corner tub. The finished walk-out basement has even more built-ins and plenty of bright, flexible space.
