About This Home

As of August 2019

Renovated 3-bedroom, 2 full bath semi-detached twin that is one half of a 2-unit condominium in the historic section of downtown Princeton. Kitchen and baths have all been renovated, and windows replaced. Granite countertops with creamy cabinetry in the kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and a built-in antique cupboard in the dining room add additional grace and charm. Brand new refinished wood floors exist throughout, and a newly repainted neutral interior allows this gem to really sparkle. Gas heat and gas cooking. Rear covered deck and partially fenced backyard. Off-street parking in the driveway for one car. As this is the sale of a family estate, the Executor has never lived in the home, and the home is selling "As-Is".
