About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked on one of the coveted "Tree Streets" in Princeton, this Circa 1915 Colonial has been transformed to embrace a 2025 lifestyle. Ascend the front steps to a charming, wrap-around front Porch. A beautifully preserved staircase welcomes you to the bright Living Room with a 3 sided, gas fireplace. Beautiful, wide-plank, oak floors lead you to the Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Room and Powder Room. The Kitchen features Conestoga cabinets, newer appliances including SS refrigerator, SS dishwasher, 6 burner Wolf electric/gas stove, farmhouse sink, custom built natural stone island & 5 charming retro stools. The side entrance boasts a Mud Room with walnut cabinets and rolling, library ladder allowing access to higher storage areas. The second floor feature 3 roomy Bedrooms with cedar-lined closets, a full height linen closet with barn door, and a separate, full Bath with an elegant, cozy claw foot tub. Multiple, potential configurations exist to deftly expand the bedrooms with en suite bathrooms to tailor to your family’s evolving needs.. The finished third floor boasts a large Bonus Room w/ vaulted ceiling, Powder Room, closet and additional storage in the eaves. A large sliding door invites you to the expansive IPE Deck and into the garden - which boasts fruit trees, colorful plantings, and a fenced area with charming arbor and raised planting beds . The adjacent electrified Shed will inspire your imagination - Yoga/Exercise Room? Play Room? Zoom Room? S(he) shed? You decide! Around the bend, on the blue stone Patio is a second Shed - built by Amish craftsmen - and is movable. The full Basement has an outside entrance, work benches, and a full Bath. Additional charming details include cedar closets, pocket doors, barn door, crystal door knobs & wide plank oak flooring Updated improvements include Mitsubishi hyper heat pump system, newer Marvin double hung windows & patio slider, newer roof, upgraded 200 amp electric service, blue stone patio , fire pit and, for your convenience, an EV charger for your electric vehicle! This is your Princeton 'in-town" destination - located a few blocks from schools, Nassau Street and the Princeton Public Library.
