221 Shadybrook Ln Princeton, NJ 08540

Expanded 5 bedroom, 3 full bath colonial split within walking distance to Littlebrook Elementary School. This community offers large lots with mature trees and sidewalks where children biking and adults walking or jogging is a constant scene. Situated on .86 acres and set back from the road, the backyard is fenced with an inground saltwater pool, a deck and a bluestone patio with a large flat section of lawn with plenty of room for fun and gardening. Once inside, the main level boasts newly refinished hardwood floors and classic white walls. The living room has a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and a large picture window with views of the front yard. The dining room has twin built-in corner cabinets and a set of sliding glass doors that open to the deck. A prior kitchen renovation and expansion by Princeton Architect, Max Hayden, has stood the test of time with high ceilings, walls of windows, perimeter cabinets and two free standing, floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Recent updates of lighting, new counters and the addition of a breakfast bar on the center island , along with stainless steel appliances gives an upbeat vibe where large gatherings and memories are sure to be made. Access to the deck, yard and pool via a second set of sliding doors off the breakfast area is made easy, while a wrap-around window view of the same can be enjoyed from the kitchen. The lower level has a second fireplace in the family room and a French door to a stone patio and pool beyond. The two car garage was portioned off to create a 5th bedroom which makes a perfect guest suite since a full bath is on this level. The basement is off the family room and used for storage. The upper level has three bedrooms that share a full hall bath and the primary suite is just a few steps to a separate level of spacious privacy. The primary bedroom has a sitting area and a wall of built-in bookcases, a dressing/sitting area is adjacent to the walk-in closet, an upper office with cathedral ceiling and skylight is sunny and bright, while the primary bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub and shower continues the cathedral ceiling and skylight theme. One final door opens to a walk-up attic for additional storage. The home is vacant, virtually staged and ready for a quick closing.
