About This Home

As of September 2019

Pride of ownership is reflected in this inviting, majestic stone-front center hall Colonial with awesome curb appeal. Gleaming hardwood floors and a two-story foyer welcome friends and family. Entertainment-sized formal living room and formal dining room are enhanced with custom moldings and plantation shutters providing charming hospitality during those special holiday meals or every day use. The renovation of the kitchen (2014) will delight chefs with new stainless steel appliances, beautiful antique glazed finished cabinets, a beverage/butler's station with built-in wine rack, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, designer lighting and two pantries. Breakfast room is steps away and overlooks the family room with a brick surround gas fireplace, which is a beautiful focal point to relax in front of at the end of a long day. Two bay windows bring in streams of sunshine, while a powder room and laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, a sumptuous master bedroom with sitting room is as inviting during daytime as it is after dark. A blissfully serene bath includes dual sinks, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and vaulted ceiling with skylight for your in-home spa-like experience. Three other spacious bedrooms share a full bath and are designed for dreaming. Finished basement will provide hours of family fun with home theater area and separate play/multipurpose room. Outside, a beautiful park-like setting includes updated professional landscaping, front/back yards, a winding brick walkway, decorative arbor, an expansive brick patio with raised walls for seating, and a large rear yard for playing games, composting, and/or organic gardening. The three car side-entry garage and all new double pane windows add additional value and convenience. Top rated West Windsor schools, minutes to Princeton Junction Train Station, and close to local area amenities. Welcome Home!
