About This Home

As of August 2020

The house functions superbly as an entertaining venue with a large terrace that extends rooms and highlights the view on the park, a heated-covered swimming pool and a home theater. This lovely classic Colonial home also features five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a detached three-car garage. The house was newly converted to gas, it has a new roof, 3 zone HVAC, patio and beautiful flowering specimen shrubs. Walking distance to the bus to Manhattan and convenient to all the wonderful shopping and dining in downtown Princeton. Award winning Princeton school district and Riverside Elementary!!
