Designed with entertaining in mind, the open-concept living and dining areas are flooded with natural light and anchored by two inviting fireplaces, adding warmth and character throughout. Just off the main living space, a sunroom overlooking the front yard offers a serene spot to read, relax, or sip your morning coffee.
Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage, generous storage options, and a floor plan that strikes a perfect balance between open, airy gathering spaces and private, tucked-away rooms. Walking path and access in the back to Lafayette Rd.
This is Princeton living at its finest—don’t miss the chance to call this exceptional home your own.
