About This Home

As of April 2021

Behind a screen of tall trees and mature pines, just one mile from the campuses of Princeton High School and Middle School and even closer to the shopping center, stands a 4-bedroom split-level that is so functional for so many lifestyles. Hardwood floors start in the foyer with a coat closet and sunny window. Ahead, the kitchen feels current and oh-so-cheerful with glass tiles adding a splash of color. A peninsula is all that separates the dining room for a sense of spaciousness further enhanced by sliders to the deck and surprisingly private backyard. This is a great spot for casual cookouts, as there's always room for one more on the built-in, pergola-topped bench. Indoors, gather in the living room with a huge bay window and decorative fireplace, while the younger set can head down to the rec room. There are a total of 4 bedrooms, all nicely sized, and 2 and a half baths. The main suite's bath is sparkling new with marble grained tile and a glass door enclosing the shower. A handy turnaround spot in the driveway offers extra guest parking.
