1093 Canal Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

All the simple pleasures of the country are calling from this history-rich home along the picturesque D & R Canal. Whether you’re peering through the hay-loft window of the converted barn or sitting on the covered front porch, the water views are sure to put you in a weekend state of mind. A little orchard and a fenced vegetable garden make the most of the L-shaped acre-plus lot, while neighboring preserved land gives the property a boundless feel. The home’s original wood floors proudly display the patina they’ve earned over time and plaster walls are still edged with tall baseboards and substantial trim. With a Sub-Zero fridge, 6-burner Thermador range and a wide drainboard sink, the roomy kitchen perfectly balances high-end functionality and vintage charm. Rare for a home of this age is a primary suite, complete with a private bath and walk-in closet. A hall bath with cleverly hidden laundry serves two more bedrooms, one lined with built-ins. Don’t miss the walk-up attic, a useful space far brighter and cleaner than one might expect! A lovely all season porch links the house with the infinitely versatile space of the former barn. A full bath sporting familiar checkered tile joins a bright workshop downstairs, while upstairs is one big, open, lofty room ready to serve as guest quarters, studio space, a home office, family room… the list goes on. A Dutch door welcomes in fresh country air and gives access to the brick patio with parterre garden beds. This is the escape you’ve been waiting for! New Septic System being installed!
