About This Home

As of April 2021

Priced for todays market this Princeton Township home includes over $110,000 in upgrades and was renovated in 2009 to create an open floor plan that offers a custom kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances and provides access to a large multi-level deck that becomes an extension of interior space. Being close to Princeton center provides additional benefits. Other renovations included new siding, upgraded insulation, new windows and gutters, garage door and two exterior doors. For greater efficiency, in addition to new windows & insulation, the owners installed a high efficiency heating and air-conditioning system with an electronic air cleaner and UV system. New driveway in 2010 and new hot water heater in 2012. To complete the picture there are 4 nice size bedrooms, fireplace in the living room, fenced yard, hardwood floors, garage and laundry room. Our location is also convenient to both shopping and transportation. One of the best buys in Princeton...DON'T MISS IT!
