Experience in-town living in the heart of Princeton! Welcome to the desirable tree streets where charming homes with covered front porches and sidewalks leading to town are just a stroll away. Here a covered front porch greets you upon entry as does the handsomely carved entrance door. Inside, the decor' is a modern vibe mixed with the charm of yesteryear that just feels like home. The living room offers an impressive mantled (gas) fireplace with a window seat to the left and an abundance of windows for an abundance of sunlight. Straight ahead is a large dining room with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling built-ins that are just perfect for storage of china or remove the doors and use the space as bookshelves. The adjacent kitchen was renovated by the current owners with tasteful selections of white cabinetry, soapstone counters, stainless steel appliances and the addition of a wall cut-out at the sink enables a view into the activity of the family room below coupled with the ability to gaze into the greenery of the private backyard. A side porch off the kitchen is perfect for morning coffee and is also easily accessible for entry from your private driveway. Off the kitchen and down the steps is a cozy family room with a vaulted ceiling for height and a bank of casement windows across the back that brings the outdoors in, as if that wasn't enough glass, there is also a double French door that opens to a side brick patio and to the oversized flat backyard with lawn and sunshine in the center and a shaded garden with a storage shed in the rear. A third full bath and laundry room complete this level. There are two sets of staircases, one off the kitchen that leads directly to the primary bedroom with it's own private full bath, and the main staircase leads to an office/study and two more bedrooms that share a hall bath. (The primary bedroom does open to and can access the other two bedrooms) The basement is unfinished and is used for various storage areas.
