129 Poe Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

Nestled on a quiet street in  Princeton, this charming, shingled ranch in the Littlebrook section of Princeton is ready for its new owners. The flagstone porch shelters your front door arrival, inviting you into a large foyer with a view of all the main rooms. This makes for a delightful introduction when entering the home. The large living room is a showstopper. Its own wall of windows overlooks the rear yard and provides an enjoyable room to relax or entertain. The dining room, opposite and across the foyer is a great size. The family room draws you with its wood burning fireplace with brick surround and built-in bookcases either side of the rear windows. The kitchen is eat-in with a great layout and views to the perennial garden and patio. The kitchen includes a double sink, Bosch dishwasher (7/20), wall oven and gas cooktop with grill feature. There is a pantry as well as a storage cupboard. Note the built-in credenza in the breakfast area. Walk on through to the laundry mud room with access to the rear yard and patio as well as the two-car garage. To the rear of the garage is a separate workroom with full HVAC and an additional utility sink perfect for hobbies and home projects. The bedrooms all with good sized closets are in their own separate wing of the house. The primary suite has two walk-in closets and its own private bath, with double vanity and tub/shower combo. The other three bedrooms share the hall bath again with a double vanity. The basement is partially finished with a dual purpose, home office/ recreation room and large walk-in storage closet. The remaining basement half contains the mechanicals and storage section of the basement. Mechanical upgrades include two new (two zone) furnaces (’22), new 50 gallon hot water heater (‘21), newer (two zone) A/C (’07 & ’19). There are hardwood floors throughout most of the home and new carpeting (’22) in the recreation room. The interior walls and the trim of the home has just been freshly painted. The exterior was painted in 2018. The yard has lots of established plantings, perennial beds, a cool fire pit area and an intimate patio for dining al fresco. Residents know “129” as the Writers’ House which both authors Eric Segal (Love Story), Russell Banks (Affliction), and poet Chase Twitchell called home during their times as Princeton University faculty members. Walking distance to premier elementary school. Great home in a wonderful community and location!
