About This Home

As of July 2020

In one of Princeton's very favorite neighborhoods, an easy sidewalk stroll to Riverside Elementary, this incredibly flexible 3-bedroom has all the makings of your ideal home! Rare for this neighborhood is an in-ground pool, a shimmering feature of the fenced backyard, along with raised garden beds, a bluestone patio, and lots of lawn for playing. A skylit living room welcomes with a deep seat under its picture window, a wood-burning fireplace, and hardwoods. The dining room and kitchen are just beyond - holidays can gracefully overflow into the window-lined breakfast room, whose pull-up peninsula allows diners to admire gleaming Corian counters and stainless appliances. An enclosed sunroom means your writing desk can be sunlit all year long. The bedroom wing includes both a hall bath and an en suite for the master. Lower levels include a study/den whose nearby bath is easily accessed by pool-goers, and a walkout lower level with loads of space. Freshly painted and new roof (July 2019).
