About This Home

As of July 2015

A rare opportunity to own on a prized street in the heart of town! This gracious center hall colonial is classic Princeton - original details shine and reflect the solid craftsmanship of a bygone era. An elegant staircase with bird's eye maple treads greets guests in the charming foyer, flanked by arched entries to the dining room and living room with a wonderful wood-burning fireplace, newly-lined, as well as a bright adjoining sun room. The eat-in kitchen welcomes with warm wood cabinets topped by lustrous granite, new stainless appliances and a sunlit breakfast area. Upstairs are 4 inviting bedrooms, including the well-sized master, served by 2 full baths. An upper level houses the carpeted family room with built-in bookshelves and a separate office. The property is delightful: a corner lot with wraparound deck and fenced backyard PLUS an adorable 1-bedroom in-law flat with vaulted ceiling and private patio. Has variance and CO. This delightful home connects to a cul-de-sac street buffered by a park, moments to all that vibrant Princeton has to offer. Won't last!
