About This Home

As of September 2015

A very rare opportunity to own in Princeton! This smart and attractive colonial is perfectly placed in the heart of Princeton, with easy walks to schools, parks, shops, restaurants, and public transportation. For the urban villager or emptynester looking to downsize while maximizing comfort and convenience, this property offers great value. The hallway and stairs lead up to second floor full bath and two ample bedrooms. A third room makes a great office/study or den. The main floor's large and open living room (with dining nook and pass-through) connects effortlessly to the kitchen, making meal preparation and entertaining a breeze. A sturdy deck overlooks the rear yard and invites you to spend time relaxing. This property is move-in ready and the owner will provide a one-year homeowners warranty for major systems. Recent electrical inspection revealed NO KNOB and TUBE. On street parking with municipal permit or potential concession for installation of side-yard parking.
