About This Home
As of June 2020Only 4 miles from Nassau Street with Princeton University and the NJ Transit train shuttle just beyond, this beautifully updated Cape Cod style home offers much more than meets the eye, in a secluded location on a storybook lot and a lawn that touches Stony Brook in the rear yard. A stunning kitchen with breakfast bar opens up to the family room and nearby bedroom on the lower level, while the living room, master bedroom and additional bedroom are on the main level upon front door entry. The entire house, including the balcony is perfectly poised to capture the extraordinary environs. This house is as charming as the photos and video suggest, but the setting, tucked away on a privately owned lane, is even better. With recently installed central air conditioning, a 3 year old septic system, and an above ground oil tank as additional improvements, the highlights aren't limited to just the cosmetics. A detached two car garage and rear gazebo are additional features and are being sold specifically 'as is'. A Princeton mailing address and the canoe are included too! This property is easy to show by appointment only and a quick closing is possible. Come see soon, as it won't last long! View a video tour at: https://www.wellcomemat.com/mls/k1mf3576500135tn
