About This Home
As of October 2020With all the charms of an ivy-clad English cottage, this heart-winning home delights with a garden gate right to Princeton's Battlefield Park. Hardwood floors bring the interiors together with warmth. Open living and dining areas benefit from a wood-burning fireplace and access to a wonderfully-sized deck. Edged in established trees and grasses, the backyard is very private, with all roads leading to the gate to the park?s rolling lawns. A skylit family room is perfect for curling up with a movie, thanks to vaulted ceilings, its own deck, and colorful, hand-painted tiles topping a pair of French doors. The terra-cotta floor matches that of the kitchen, where an efficient layout is complimented by stainless steel appliances that include a Miele dishwasher. A half bath and access to the 1-car garage are around the corner. A paneled office could suit overnight guests; 3 more bedrooms are upstairs, sharing a renovated bath completely tiled in marble. A bike ride from town, this fantastic location is close to top-notch schools and the Dinky train station. This home is located within the Battle Field Historic District.
