About This Home
As of October 2023Perfectly positioned to enjoy the best Princeton has to offer, 28 Chestnut Street, as one might surmise from the name, is located in the highly desirable Tree Streets neighborhood, beloved for its charming mix of Victorian and colonial homes just a stone’s throw from Nassau Street, the University, schools, and parks. Enjoy neighborly visits on the front porch before heading inside to hardwood floors in the living room and dining room. Both rooms have built-in bookcases, providing plenty of space for your collectibles, books and photographs. The updated kitchen has quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting and a nine-lite door leading to the deck. Enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation on the deck and in the nicely sized backyard with tall, leafy trees providing privacy. The upper level houses the primary bedroom with city chic glass block walls curving around the en suite bath; a second bedroom with a two-piece en suite; a home office overlooking Chestnut Street; and the laundry area. A driveway along the side of the house provides off-street parking for two cars. This just-right-sized home offers the perfect combination of Princeton charm and in-town location that puts you steps from Small World Coffee, Hoagie Haven, Blue Point Grill and other local favorites.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS AND VIDEO WILL BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW.
