About This Home

As of January 2022

Opportunity knocks: A beautifully renovated, specious home in Princeton's leafy Washington Oaks neighborhood. The open floorplan of this Clermont model and the fully finished basement offer flexibility and inspiration for your perfect work and living scenario! As the line blurs between work and the day-to-day, having the smart, modern kitchen, designated workout room and the surrounding, park-like grounds with miles of trails makes everything a bit more fun and a lot more efficient. Hardwood floors are throughout the first and second floors; the kitchen and all three bathrooms are renovated and redesigned with modern sensibility; and the windows are large, bathing the interior with natural light and sunshine. Two of the three bedrooms upstairs have cathedral ceilings and all three are generously sized bringing elegance and grace to the day to day. The main bedroom's walk-in closet is well outfitted and organized and the laundry is just a couple of steps into the hallway, making what's normally mundane a breeze. The fully finished basement offers three distinct rooms. Office, den, home gym, playroom or hobby room - the possibilities are endless and the choice is entirely yours! The patio and yard offer the perfect balance of outdoors and low-effort maintenance. Princeton schools, New York bus up the street, Princeton Junction train station a short ride away. Princeton University and all the shops and restaurants of Palmer Square are just a couple miles down the road. A great opportunity -- come and see for yourself!
