About This Home

As of December 2023

In the highly regarded Manors of Montgomery, on the border of Princeton with a Princeton mailing address, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhome is located in a prime cul-de-sac with beautiful sun exposure from morning to evening!
The entry foyer opens into a side-by-side living and dining room creating a perfect flow for daily life and entertaining.
Pride of ownership shows in every corner of this meticulously cared for home and is sure to captivate with its recently installed elegant white oak hardwood floors on the main and second levels, renovated bathrooms and updated eat-in kitchen with granite counters, new stainless-steel appliances and tasteful Travertine floors that extend through the hallway. All windows have been replaced, including the slider which connects the generously sized living room with the spacious, recently rebuilt deck.
A handsome corner gas fireplace is the focal point of the living room.
On the second floor, the primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, a double closet and an en- suite bathroom, while another full bathroom and a convenient laundry room line the second-floor hall.
The expansive finished basement consists of a media room and a separate office space to work from home.
This home is move-in ready, with a newer HVAC system and water heater for a comfortable and hassle-free lifestyle.
Enjoy a coveted Princeton mailing address as well as Montgomery's highly acclaimed Blue-Ribbon School System. Conveniences are right around the corner, and historic downtown Princeton is mere minutes away with its renowned theater, museums and restaurants and shopping.
Easy access to commuter routes (Route 1/I-95/195/295, trains to New York and Philadelphia and NJ Transit Bus). The amenities include tennis courts and playground. To enjoy outdoor activities, walk, jog or bike to the 30-acre beautiful Van Horne Park via the paths throughout the community or jog or bike the trails of the Delaware Raritan Canal network. Better yet, take a canoe ride down the calming waters of the canal. Princeton address and the sought-after Blue Ribbon Montgomery School District. What more can you ask for? Welcome Home! Some of the pictures were virtually staged. Seller has four cameras installed in the house.
