About This Home

As of April 2025

Many consider this street to be the most beautiful in all of Princeton and The Institute for Advanced Study’s picturesque campus and wooded trails, mere steps away, only add to the caché. From a corner vantage point, it’s easy to admire the old-growth trees and manicured plantings of neighboring lots. This home’s yard is simply charming with a split-rail fence and sun-drenched lawn. Thanks to the recent addition of extra windows and a French door, the living and dining rooms now flow right outside. The interior boasts plenty more updates that blend seamlessly with 1920’s details, like alcove built-ins, a paneled staircase and hardwood floors throughout. With a mix of colorful cabinetry and serious appliances, including a Viking refrigerator, plus wine fridge, the kitchen calls to mind the nostalgic workspace of Julia Child herself. Across the hall, above the 2-car garage, a sunny bonus room lined with shelving has just the right amount of separation to be a rowdy playroom or a comfortable work-from-home retreat. Pass a pretty stained glass window as you head up to the bedrooms, three of which are served by a hall bath clad in oversized, marble-veined tile. In the main suite bath, classic white subway tile surrounds a clawfoot tub. A study, or perhaps a dressing room, completes this sizable suite. The third floor offers a trio of skylit spaces with exposed brick, a wealth of storage and a bar area that can be used as a kitchenette, beverage center or an organized craft zone… your choice! Up-to-date systems make for a worry-free move to a welcoming house with unlimited potential in the neighborhood of your dreams. Owner is a licensed NJ real estate agent.
