About This Home

As of June 2021

A newly and neatly landscaped front yard and idyllic in-town locale set the scene for this recently expanded ranch-style home. Located on a highly sought-after street, the well-kept property borders on the fields of Princeton High School, and is within close proximity to the district's other top-ranked elementary and middle schools, Princeton University, and the heart of downtown Princeton. The home's thoughtfully arranged layout begins from the front door foyer, which flows organically into the living room, a spacious area featuring a fireplace and an excellent spot for gatherings with loved ones. From there, the space connects fluidly to one of the two significant additions to the house: a generously sized, light-filled kitchen offering views of and access via French doors to the beautifully hardscaped back yard. The home's three bedrooms are tucked away from these main living areas. Perched at the front of the house, the master bedroom is big and bright, with a newly installed bathroom, a fireplace, and generous closet storage. The two remaining bedrooms are equally well-sized and include full ensuite bathrooms. Complete with central air-conditioning and the addition of a generator, this well-proportioned dwelling is the perfect place to call home in Princeton!
