About This Home

As of March 2025

Beautiful 3 bedroom 2.5 bath rancher with newer upgrades including an addition which consists of a spacious bedroom (primary suite) which could be used as in-law suite, housing an en-suite bath, walk in closet, and access to back patio. Conveniently thought out, this area is private from the other two bedrooms and living spaces separated with a rustic barn door. This well kept home captures initial curb appeal and carries through to the interior of the home and into the spacious, private backyard as a seamless extension of this home. The backyard is an oasis with endless opportunity to create your own vision or simply enjoy as is. This home offers hardwood floors, a separate living and dining space, and eat-in kitchen with large countertops and ample cabinetry. All three bedrooms are great sized with natural lighting and ceiling fans. An additional room can be used as an office and offers a murphy bed for guests. The restored hallway bathroom is located close by both bedrooms and office and serves as a convenient guest bathroom. There is a powder room in one of the bedrooms. This home has an unfinished basement which includes laundry and is a prime space for storage or a workshop. Choose to keep as-is or finish completely. This home is located in an A+ school district. Ideally located in a friendly neighborhood within very close proximity to 3 grocery stores, hospital, and the quaint towns of Pennington and Princeton. Centrally located for commuting to NYC (Hamilton train station 20 minutes) Philadelphia (West Trenton train station SEPTA 15 minutes), the Route 1 corridor (10 minutes), and 295/95 (5 minutes).
