About This Home

As of September 2022

Magnificent opportunity to own a four bedroom, 1950’s Cape Cod style home nestled on a quaint street in the village of Lawrenceville, minutes from Princeton. This home has been well maintained and is ready for the next fortunate owner to move in and add their own decorative touches. Features original hardwood flooring and woodwork. Beamed ceiling living room with large front view, bay window providing lots of natural light. Off the living room is great room with new carpet (2022), dining area and access to the covered porch & a single car garage. Eat-in kitchen features a casual dining area with backyard views, built-in pantry shelving and ceiling fan. Completing the main floor are two bedrooms with hardwood floors and a half bath. Possibility to add a stall shower to the half bath by using a closet in the bordering bedroom. Upstairs, find two spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, a full bath, several closets and knee wall storage area. The full basement has been partitioned for workshop, laundry, recreation, utility & storage areas. Several rooms are freshly painted. All carpet is new (2022). Updated electric panel. A covered back porch opens onto a very, very deep, landscaped yard which extends into the wooded area beyond - a lot of .8 acres (356 feet deep - see attached tax map). Living space extends outside in warm weather to the 23' x 9' covered back porch with direct access to a large, fenced dog run. Storage shed at the back of the landscaped yard. New roof (2022) Less than a mile walk to downtown Lawrenceville with shops, restaurants, and services; Village Park & Mercer Meadows (which host the Lawrence-Hopewell Trail); Lawrenceville School; Lawrenceville Swim club and Lawrenceville Elementary School. Convenient to major roads, NYC/Phila trains, Mercer airport and shopping. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to own in the historic village of Lawrenceville!
