About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome to 5 Channing Way! Nestled on a picturesque lot in a sought-after enclave, just minutes from the Princeton Junction Train Station, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. Thoughtfully upgraded and beautifully appointed, every detail has been carefully curated to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Step onto the charming rocking chair front porch, where a lead glass front door with sidelights welcomes you inside. Gleaming hardwood floors flow through the main living areas, leading to a graceful formal living room with elegant crown molding and a stylish dry bar—perfect for entertaining. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring granite countertops, tiled backsplash, premium stainless steel appliances, a five-burner cooktop with exhaust hood, double wall ovens, breakfast counter with pendant lighting, a built-in desk, and an abundance of cabinetry. A sunny dining area overlooks the idyllic backyard, while the spacious family room invites relaxation with its gas fireplace framed by an Adam-style surround and mantle. A private study or den sits just steps away from a beautiful full bath with walk-in shower and seamless glass doors, and a convenient powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite boasts a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a "Mine & Yours" vanity, a stall shower, a soaking tub, and exquisite marble tile. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms and a full hallway bath provide ample space for family and guests. The finished lower level is a versatile haven, offering dedicated spaces for media, exercise, study, recreation, and play. Outside, a gorgeous paver patio overlooks lush gardens, sweeping lawns, vibrant flower beds, and mature trees, creating a private retreat for relaxation or entertaining. A whole house generator provides uninterrupted power during outages for year-round comfort and peace of mind. Additional highlights include: New furnace, A/C, and water heater, paver walkways, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and a two-car side-entry garage. Located in the top-rated West Windsor-Plainsboro School District, this extraordinary home is just a short stroll to Van Nest Park and playground, less than a mile to Princeton Junction Train station, and moments from major highways, shopping, dining, schools, and the cultural charm of downtown Princeton.
