About This Home

As of June 2025

A quiet, one-way lane just a half-mile from Nassau Street and one block from Princeton University campus, along with a fantastic backyard, present the opportunity to invest in a lifestyle that includes meeting friends for a bite on a whim, catching a home game without the hassle of parking and then returning home, where you can totally unwind in peace. The handsome brick-accented house is a delight, beginning in the tiled foyer with space to kick off your shoes and hang up your coat. The living and dining rooms flow together as one with uninterrupted hardwood floors, a fireplace and sliders. The bigger-than-expected kitchen offers a wealth of rich wood cabinetry contrasted with cool marble, brilliant white subway tile and stainless steel appliances. A powder room is handy near the side entry and garage, which is currently semi-finished and full of even more possibilities. A new furnace, new water heater and several new appliances join new Andersen windows for enhanced comfort and efficiency. Also, new split A/C systems individually cool all three upstairs bedrooms, one with a murphy bed. Many more updates can be found outside within the freshly landscaped fenced yard, including a new fully permitted hot tub positioned between the expanded deck and paver patio. A shed and a full basement with good ceiling height and sturdy shelving serve all your storage needs, making this the perfect in-town package!
