About This Home

As of June 2022

This is exactly what springs to mind when Princetonians envision the ideal Tree Street home - a charming garden in front, a private pocket of a yard in back, and classic Colonial good looks front and center! This one also comes with a 2-car garage, in addition to driveway and street parking. The family room is a dynamic blend of periods with plenty of character in the form of built-ins, hardwood floors and a traditional fireplace, along with recently added space of a bright, modern bump-out sitting room with skylights and sliders. A wide pass-through from the dining room with flanking corner cupboards gives the roomy kitchen an open feel. Well-chosen materials, like marble, copper and classic white subway tile, are always in style and totally fitting for a house of this vintage. A powder room is discreetly tucked away off the back porch entry. Four corner bedrooms all have cedar-lined closets, while one flight above, a bedroom and an office are loaded with storage and a sensational amount of sunlight. Full bathrooms serve both upper levels. The basement fulfills all your storage needs and, when it’s time to entertain on the patio again, unearthing the outdoor furniture is easy with walk-out egress. Of course, Nassau Street’s wide selection of al fresco dining options, Princeton University and coveted local schools are merely blocks away!
