About This Home
As of May 2017The incredible backyard garden of this in-town charmer brims with color: hydrangea and peonies, bright goldfinches and butterflies, pink coneflower and roses. Inside, sunshine and hardwood floors flow. A fireplace clad in warm brick and flanking bookcases unite open living and dining space. Easy-care finishes make clean-up a snap in the bright kitchen, as a sweet coffee bar overlooks the yard. A cozy den could serve as an inspired breakfast room with its bay window, bookcases, and parquet floor. A mudroom accesses the 1-car garage and a cathedral screened porch, which functions as a breezy outdoor family room, allowing for rain or shine enjoyment of bountiful blooms and specimen trees. A thoughtful renovation includes the addition of a powder room and a master bedroom expansion. 2 more bedrooms and a full bath finish things. A red maple tree, bed of myrtle, and a pergola-topped patio accent the facade, creating darling curb appeal, plus it's sidewalks all the way to Princeton's wonderful theaters, eateries, and shops! Full-house generator.
