About This Home

As of June 2013

Proudly sitting on one of Princeton's most beloved in-town streets is this well cared for 100 year-old Colonial. A bluestone path guides guests to the entry porch marked by a pediment. Inside, original features like 5-panel doors with lever hardware and crown moulding impart antique charm, and soft contemporary colors complement hardwood floors and high ceilings. The foyer opens to the bright living room with a fireplace edged in marble. Tall double doors separate the living and dining rooms. Adjacent to the dining room, an all-season sunroom is perfect as a study or den with access to the rear deck. Enjoy views of the backyard's mature Japanese maple and perennial gardens from the white-on-white eat-in kitchen where french doors open to the deck for easy al fresco entertaining. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an office, the upper levels offer plenty of adaptable space. Choose the largest bedroom with 3 exposures and a huge bath as the master or opt for privacy on the sky-lit top floor with bath and study.
