About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in the heart of Princeton’s sought-after Littlebrook section, 234 Dodds Lane is a beautifully designed home where comfort, style, and convenience come together. With four bedrooms, a large recreation room, and an in-ground heated saltwater pool, this home is as perfect for daily living as it is for entertaining, indoors and out. Step inside to find hardwood floors gracing the foyer, formal living room, and dining room. A large walk-in bay window in the living room welcomes in natural light, while a cozy fireplace adds warmth and charm. The adjoining dining room ensures effortless hosting, flowing seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen. Here, stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating, and a butcher block top make meal prep and casual dining a pleasure. A double set of sliding glass doors off the breakfast area opens to the TimberTech composite deck, inviting you outside to enjoy the stone patio, saltwater pool, and lush tree-lined backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a Juliette balcony overlooking the peaceful backyard—a perfect spot to sip morning coffee or unwind with an evening glass of wine. A vaulted ceiling adds to the sense of space, while the two walk-in closets with custom built-in organizers provide ample storage. Additional highlights include hardwood floors beneath the upstairs wool carpet and a floored pull-down attic for extra storage. There are three additional bedrooms each of generous size with hardwood floors and ample closet space. A large recreation room expands your living space with cork flooring and a pocket door for privacy. A basement laundry room is equipped with two washers and two dryers. A gas house generator, two-zone HVAC, and a 75-gallon water heater ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Outside, the heated saltwater pool with an 8-foot depth and Jacuzzi/hot tub transforms the backyard into a private oasis. A variety of songbirds fill the air with music, while seasonal blooms add vibrant color throughout the year. A safety cover, a new pool heater, and a salt generator enhance ease of maintenance, making this the ideal setting for a staycation or lively gatherings. Beyond the home’s property line, Terhune Road runs along the back, a quiet township-maintained road flanked by protected wooded areas—a favorite for dog walkers, runners, and cyclists. A double gate in the fence and a widened path through the trees provide easy access for landscapers. The nearby paved pedestrian path connects to Smoyer Park, home to soccer fields, a baseball field, a community garden, and a playground, or walk to the Princeton Shopping Center (1.5 miles away). With a new driveway, new water line to the house, and recent updates throughout, this stunning Princeton home is ready to welcome its next chapter. A rare blend of charm, function, and location—come experience it for yourself!
