Solidly Built Home Set Amid Nature Trails and Estate Homes. Immediately next to the extensive trails and natural land of Carson Road Woods and abutting the deep lots of Players Lane, this 4.8-acre property offers all the pleasures and privacy of remote living within three miles of downtown Princeton. Rows of tall trees define the sprawling lot, home to a classic white cape with charming dormer windows and a detached garage. While the house is solidly built with nicely scaled rooms, it requires extensive updating. Hardwood floors, French doors and two fireplaces give buyers with vision a great starting point! A main level primary suite, a sunroom addition and a mudroom sized to meet modern needs are further selling points. Even the upper level bedrooms have hardwood floors and details that speak to the quality of the original craftsmanship, like solid paneled doors. Of course, the size of the lot also allows buyers to start from scratch and build a new, larger home of any style. With top-notch schools, award-winning golf courses, organic farm stands and every store from A-Z within a few minute’s drive, you really can’t go wrong, no matter which path you choose!

EP-1
Environmental Protection 1 District
The Environmental Protection 1 district is designed for low intensity uses primarily in the northwest area of the municipality where poor water yields and strata for septic systems dictate large lot development in an area of little or no public infrastructure and severe environmental constraints, including but not limited to, a seasonal high water table, shallow depth to bedrock, and steep slopes along the Stony Brook. Further, the purpose of the EP-1 district is to protect the environmental resources and qualities of this area, maintain the rural character of roads and scenic views, and retain farmland. The EP-1 designation is contrasted with the EP-2 district by being underlain with the Lockatong-Argillite geologic formation as depicted in the adopted Master Plan. Both the EP-1 and EP-2 districts, though poorly suited for development, are exceptional areas for non-irrigated agriculture. Because of this last factor, clustering of residential units is preferred whether under the provisions of this section or 428.
