About This Home
As of June 2020City meets country. Private and convenient, this rare find of a property, down a lane off Carter Road, is just ten minutes from downtown Princeton and Hopewell. This post war period home of 1500+ sq ft has been lovingly kept. Enter the front main level into light-filled living room with hardwood floors, built in cornices and bookshelves. The first of two fireplaces is framed by a broad white mantle. At the room's far end, French doors open to a screened in balcony with views of the expansive rear lawn sloping down to Stony Brook. Bedrooms one and two plus full bath are on this main level. Master contains a door to screened balcony. In the evening, hear the frogs from the lily pond below; in the morning, rise to birdsong. Downstairs, lower level holds the kitchen, family room with second fireplace, half bath, and third bedroom or additional communal space. The flooring throughout this level is vintage black and white tile. Dutch door in family room opens to flagstone patio and rear grounds. The handmade, beautifully weathered patio table and chairs are included, as is the canoe, down by the water. Sit in the gazebo and watch the wildlife that visits the wooded portion of the property on the other side of the brook. Artists and writers in fact and spirit, who want a hideaway set in nature, will fall in love with this home. NOTE: Public record shows 800+ sq ft. Portion of lower level is partially below grade and not factored into living space. This house has 1500+ sq ft of living space.
