About This Home
As of December 2020Leigh Avenue has quickly become one of central Princeton's most buzzed about streets and it's easy to see why. Dining options abound, the library and shops of Palmer Square are steps away and great schools are right around the corner! This classic twin begins with a sweet little garden beneath the covered front porch, which was just freshened up with a coat of paint. Inside, the floorplan is surprisingly open with hardwood floors, neutral colors and lots of recessed lighting overhead. The kitchen, dressed in granite and stainless steel, leads to a tiled mudroom and half bath. This is the perfect area to coral shoes when you come in from hanging out or grilling in the fully fenced backyard featuring a deep green blanket of fresh sod. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and a full bath atop the stairs. More valuable space for easy-to-access storage exists in the full basement. If you long to live in the vibrant, friendly Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, this place is a must-see!
