About this home

This delightful home is perfectly situated for exploring the magical surrounding countryside while not being too far from all of life's conveniences. Abuting a reserve on 2.1 bucolic acres, an absolutely charming cottage provides tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby Princeton. A hedged path lines the walk to the front portico and welcomes into sunny and cheerful rooms. An arched doorway separates living and dining rooms, both filled with warm touches and soothing timber floors. Two bedrooms are served by an updated black and white checkered bathroom. Cook up a great meal in the cozy kitchen and enjoy it on the screened porch overlooking the garden. Storage is abundant in a floored attic assessed via pull down stairs or in the well-utilized basement with laundry facilities. A little oasis in Lawrence Township with a Princeton address, this home would make a wonderful nest for first time buyers or for those looking to scale back without compromising location.

EP-1

Environmental Protection 1 District

The Environmental Protection 1 district is designed for low intensity uses primarily in the northwest area of the municipality where poor water yields and strata for septic systems dictate large lot development in an area of little or no public infrastructure and severe environmental constraints, including but not limited to, a seasonal high water table, shallow depth to bedrock, and steep slopes along the Stony Brook. Further, the purpose of the EP-1 district is to protect the environmental resources and qualities of this area, maintain the rural character of roads and scenic views, and retain farmland. The EP-1 designation is contrasted with the EP-2 district by being underlain with the Lockatong-Argillite geologic formation as depicted in the adopted Master Plan. Both the EP-1 and EP-2 districts, though poorly suited for development, are exceptional areas for non-irrigated agriculture. Because of this last factor, clustering of residential units is preferred whether under the provisions of this section or 428.
