About This Home

As of January 2017

Looking for a special property with character? This home is just that! Sitting on a one acre lot are four homes; this one is one side of a large house. There are two other free standing smaller homes sharing the property. Generous parking anchors the homes in the back. As you enter the back of the house, note the door to the right, which leads to your own personal yard. The amazing stone wall that surrounds the patio was built by Armenian craftsmen that also did stonework at Princeton University, This particular home has been lovingly updated. Carpets covered the vintage hardwood. They have been refinished and saved, both upstairs and downstairs. The main floor has a flexible layout. Besides the kitchen, with newer cabinets, counters and appliances, there are two other rooms. You could use one as a dining room if desired, or do as the current owner has and use one of the three window seats as part of your dining area. There are two long window seats in the living room, and one in the other room. There is also a charming cobblestone fireplace in the room next to the kitchen. Imagine decorating this home! There is also a tiny, narrow cabinet that is the right size to house tea lights! The main floor also houses a functional, albeit petite, bathroom with a shower. Upstairs there is a generous sized bathroom with a deep tub and skylight. There is one larger bedroom and two more that are next to each other. Our current owner is using one of them as his studio and one as a sleeping space. There is a flexibility to the use as well. One of the bedrooms is full or windows and the other two also have nice natural light. There is a basement and it holds the washer and dryer, recently updated. The heating system is newer, a heat pump/central air. The windows are primarily newer as well. This home is located on a lovely, tree lined street close to everything in Princeton, including the Princeton Shopping Center. Blue Ribbon schools and all the wonderful amenities Princeton has to offer. Flexible closing possible.
