About This Home

As of May 2022

Three bedroom, 2.5 baths plus a bonus loft, this colonial home is a rare find: a quiet and tranquil oasis, centrally located in Princeton. Set back 300 feet off the road, this well-maintained home has a bluestone front porch to welcome you, and beautiful mature landscaping. The foyer introduces the light-filled main level and houses a powder room and cloak closet. Off of the foyer is the sitting room, featuring hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead through to the formal dining room which has sliding doors that lead to the private bluestone patio. The spacious eat-in kitchen is well laid out, with good storage, stainless steel appliances, a desk nook, and doors to the private patio making barbecuing in the summer very convenient. Conveniently situated next to the kitchen is a large laundry room and access to the single car garage. The master bedroom suite features an en-suite with a stall shower and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms each have large closets, a hall bath completes the second level. A large, bright, loft room on the third level has lots of additional storage closets and could be used for recreation as a family room, office space or even guest bedroom. Outside there is a large, private garden: an oasis of mature trees and shrubs centered around a large pond, with a blue stone patio from which to sit and admire nature. Close to town, schools, shopping, and professional services, yet very quiet and private. New roof 2020.
