About This Home

As of September 2014

A rare find in Princeton, this charming end-unit row-home is move-in ready and full of potential for the creative urban villager. The living room with hardwood floor adjoins a nice eat-in kitchen. Upstairs are two ample bedrooms with original pine floors--beautifully refinished. The main floor laundry/mud room provides access to the deep, sunny rear yard featuring a paver patio, great for relaxing; the raised garden beds with flowers and vegetables make a lovely setting. There is off-street parking for three cars--though you'll not likely use them given the easy walk (4 blocks!) to Nassau Street and all that Princeton has to offer: a great public library, coffee shops, restaurants, and schools. Steps away is Community Park with playing and exercise fields and a great swimming pool complex. Excellent opportunity for r/e investor or anyone interested in a great value in the heart of Princeton.
