In a quiet pocket of Princeton but still so close to the University and the varied offerings of Nassau Street, this home is downright charming. An understated, yet classic presence from the street, once inside this gem reveals its spacious, flowing layout. Enter the foyer via a lemonade-sipping front porch to find quality details with wood floors, built-ins and an expansion that created a handsome great room in the back of the house. Soothing architectural elements abound throughout. The living room is front to back with a wood-burning fireplace. And the dining room nicely scaled for an elegant dinner party. The kitchen is spacious and functional and awaits your vision to make it your own. The great room overlooks and opens to a large garden. Here find patio, level lawn and mature blooms, all fully fenced. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two baths are bright and sunny. The main bedroom suite features a sitting area, private bath and plentiful storage. A real jewel in a terrific location, come take a look!
