About This Home

Character, charm, and the beauty of Nature combine to make this iconic Princeton home a prized sanctuary for your family. The 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath Classic offers an extravagant amount of living space arranged in a Perfect layout, providing abundant space for entertaining and family gatherings. A bright kitchen affords an incredible array of counter space and an ultimately practical island. Both dining and living rooms boast 9-foot ceilings, adding to the air of spacious luxury. The original (unpainted!) trim showcases detailed millwork and the expanse of framed windows allows a flood of natural light, highlighting the lead-glass feature that is testament to the attention to detail. Built-in features, french doors, and the gorgeous bannister will delight you as you walk through to the large sunroom, which sports a mini-split and custom blinds. The 1st-floor full bath is married to a laundry area, offering a wall of storage cabinets and an oversize walk-in shower! Move up a level to explore the spacious bedrooms. You'll be fascinated with the way the Master flows into the former and potential Kitchenette space (with sink, storage, and installed outlet for range), and from there into both the full bath and bonus room. This valuable extra room can be utilized as an additional bedroom or as a luxury component of the Master Bedroom. (It'd make a great walk-in closet/dressing room!) The 3rd bedroom harbors the entrance to the potential-laden walk-up attic. The full, dry basement is ready for your storage needs plus more - use your imagination! What makes this property truly distinctive is most certainly the serenity found in the backyard Oasis! Offering both peace and privacy, this haven has been professionally landscaped and showcases a multi-tiered natural-look water fountain. A glossy terrace (with unique colored highlights) is matched with a large wooden deck which somehow manages to look both inviting and sophisticated. The advent of cooler weather foretells many an evening gathered around the firepit (equipped with Adironak chairs) - a tranquil escape from Life. An oversized heated 2-car garage has an attached storage shed/workshop, adding valuable practical space. The seller has been consistently successful in his quest to ensure that quality maintenance was enacted throughout the years. That gives you assurance that this Home is move-in ready and will require only your own chosen personal touches. Perfect location to stroll down the street to enjoy Princeton's famed shopping mecca - or catch a street concert, theater production, or any one of the popular Festivals. Take a virtual walk-through with our Cloudpano link and make sure to look at the attached Feature sheet for a list of updates and valuable information. Don't miss the opportunity to own this extraordinary Home with its' rich history and modern comforts!
