Everyone is asking for a one level, centrally located, charming house, with easy access to all Princeton has to offer. Well, here it is! This three bedroom ranch is close to the University, Riverside School, and Lake Carnegie. A few blocks from Nassau Street and Town, it is close to both the Dinky and the bus to Manhattan. Built of brick and wood, it has been lovingly maintained by it's current owner, as is evidenced by the gleaming oak floors and white walls. Built by Bucci, the quality speaks for itself. Three bedrooms, two full baths and an eat-in kitchen make living easy, and the formal dining room and living room are over-sized, providing extraordinary flexibility in entertaining. Large picture window brings in wonderful natural light, and the sliding doors to the wood deck give you all the privacy you could want.
