About This Home

As of October 2017

On a beautiful lot amidst some of Princeton's finest homes, here's a rare chance to buy a great custom home with a comprehensive floor plan and many recent upgrades. The foyer has a recently installed powder room, access to the eat-in kitchen, the great room, and a first floor bedroom suite with hall bath and a study that can accommodate any 5th bedroom need. The great room (open living & dining rooms) is the heart of the home with a stunning fireplace and glass wall that opens to the gorgeous, re-built deck...perched perfectly atop the scenic yard below. Upstairs is a master suite with his & her vanities, closets, a full bath, a vaulted ceiling, and glass door to a balcony, also re-built! Two other spacious bedrooms share a bath, while 2nd floor laundry and ample storage are highlights. A walkout basement, wine cellar, and attached garage are also included...all within walking distance of Johnson Park school, Greenway Meadows park, and less than a mile from downtown, Princeton University and the train.
