About This Home
As of September 2013An incredible amount of planning and detail-oriented workmanship went into elevating this now picture-perfect Princeton Colonial up to today's high standards. The leafy lot is home to shady stone patios and NJ's reportedly tallest white pine, while the location along an historic in-town street presents the opportunity to stroll to restaurants or amble through Marquand Park on a whim. Wainscoting and pristine hardwood floors span the main level, reconfigured to include a bright family room with raised brick fireplace, built-ins and adjoining wet bar. The eat-in kitchen is equipped with a suite of Dacor appliances and warm white cabinetry topped with granite. In addition to sizeable formal rooms off the airy foyer, a paneled study completes the living space. Above, a new hall bathroom serves 2 bedrooms, while a sunny suite has a private bath and dressing room. Handy back stairs ascend to the second laundry, new master suite with a handsomely finished bathroom, and three closets, including a windowed walk-in.
