About This Home

As of November 2017

This Littlebrook cape has so much to offer it's new owner! The location is excellent, close to schools, shopping, public transportation and downtown Princeton. As you enter, you get a good feeling about this home. The light filled living room gives access to the well thought out kitchen design. Spacious enough to be an eat in kitchen yet open to the dining room so you could expand the cabinets if you wanted to. Off the back is a light filled sun room which is 3 seasons, or add heating to enjoy year round. Traditional of the cape style, there are two bedrooms on the first floor while the second floor encompasses one large bedroom. A full basement can be used for laundry, extra living space and storage. The lovely back yard is private and tranquil. You'll enjoy all the best Princeton has to offer at an amazing price! Finally a Princeton home you can afford.
