About This Home

As of March 2019

A side entrance ensures some privacy in this ready-to-go Montgomery Village End-Unit Townhome with gleaming newer hardwood floors throughout, a stylish two-year-old kitchen, and updated baths. The floor plan is open concept with the dining and living rooms sharing in the warm glow of the fireplace and wooded views beyond. There s a wonderful flow here for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen caters to the serious cook with granite counters and stainless appliances. Park the car in the attached garage and avoid foul weather on grocery days. There s plenty of additional guest parking right out front. Above, both the laundry and a full bath are in the hall, shared by 2 bright, generously-sized bedrooms. A lovely master suite contains its own private bath with a jetted tub. In a desirable location, only minutes from Princeton downtown and Montgomery's top-rated schools.
