About this home
A tribute to the charm of a Williamsburg Colonial, this impeccably maintained house was built by the current owners. Wide board pumpkin pine floors flow throughout, hallways have recessed panel wainscoting and brass door knobs highlight the Colonial palette. There is a beamed ceiling and handsome fieldstone fireplace in the living room. The dining room and the large kitchen's breakfast area overlook a fireplace with an antique brick surround. Sliding glass doors open to an expansive deck overlooking a swimming pool. The master bedroom suite, with tile bath, features a beamed ceiling and an elegant cast iron stove. There are three additional bedrooms and a hall bath. A staircase in the garage accesses storage space. This beautifully manicured lot, with majestic trees providing privacy, is sited above the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal in Franklin Township with a Princeton address.
