About This Home

As of March 2017

Imagine springtime strolls to Lake Carnegie, playing ball and planting flowers in a big backyard, and turning your idea of the perfect home into a reality. With some elbow grease and vision, this Littlebrook split-level offers plenty of rewards. The layout is smart and efficient with hardwood floors and an attached garage. An enclosed porch opens to a small foyer, which comfortably buffers the living room. Built-ins edge a traditional fireplace beside a wide opening into the dining room fitted with corner cupboards. The kitchen has space for a breakfast table or perhaps a future pass-through and breakfast bar. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a sizeable hall bath, while the corner master has a half bath en suite. The lower level accommodates a family room, laundry and half bath. Nearly a half-acre of yard and plenty of extra parking is right out the back door. Don't miss your entree to one of Princeton's most beloved areas and the chance to customize a well built home. Being sold in "as is condition."
