About This Home
As of September 2018Located in the western section, this three story white washed brick colonial is just a short walk to town with all the vibe Princeton offers! Sophisticated architectural renovations coupled with hip decorator selections will make living in this brick beauty a dream come true. A curved staircase captures your attention upon entry of the center foyer, to the left is an elegant, front-to-back living room with a fireplace that is flanked by custom built-ins and two sets of French doors, one at either end that open to the outdoors. A pocket door reveals a handsome study with a second fireplace surrounded by built-ins with exposed brick and a third set of French doors leading to the rear patio. The kitchen demo called for the removal of a wall that now boasts an open concept space with a country size breakfast/dining area and a long breakfast bar that could easy seat six. High end commercial grade appliances, cherry cabinets, titanium leather granite counters and French doors that open to the rear patio for alfresco dining. A cozy family room with a 5th set of French doors to the patio, has custom floor-to-ceiling cabinets, a large bay window and charming dutch-door that opens to a front porch. An oversized mudroom has a second dutch-door to the backyard, followed by the laundry room and a charming second office, a first floor powder room completes this level. Upstairs, two bedrooms were converted into the master bedroom which features yours and mine walk-in closets, a renovated spa-like master bathroom in calming hues finishes this master suite. A beautifully renovated hall bath is shared by two bedrooms that were combined into one large bedroom (one can re-institute the doorway from the hall to form two separate bedrooms again.) The third addition completed in 2009, features two oversized bedrooms (or use one as third floor play room.) with a third full bathroom. The grounds are privately fenced and naturally screened with tall hedges making for an estate-like feel among homes on the street that are multi-million dollar properties. Full unfinished basement, side-car garage entrance, Johnson Park School district and close to $450,000 in renovations, makes this a stunning purchase.
