Nestled in one of Princeton's most sought-after in-town neighborhoods, 15 Hillside Road offers the rare combination of timeless architecture, modern luxury, and exceptional convenience. Just a few blocks from the Princeton Shopping Center, top-rated Princeton Public Schools, and only minutes from vibrant downtown Princeton and Princeton University, this location places the very best of Princeton at your doorstep. Originally taken down to the studs, this home has been meticulously rebuilt into a beautifully crafted two-story Colonial, featuring all-new systems and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Every detail was carefully considered to create a home that is as functional as it is elegant. The main level is designed for today's lifestyle, offering an inviting living room anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, a spacious chef's kitchen that flows seamlessly into a generous great room, and the flexibility of a first-floor bedroom or private office—perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or working from home. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, accompanied by three additional bedrooms. One enjoys its own en-suite bath, while the remaining two are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A conveniently located second-floor laundry room adds everyday ease and practicality. The partially finished walk-out basement extends the home's living space with endless possibilities for recreation, entertainment, fitness, or a media room, while providing direct access to the beautifully landscaped backyard. Modern comfort meets smart technology with a video doorbell, smart lock, motion-activated exterior lighting, and connected kitchen and laundry appliances. The detached garage is EV-ready with a dedicated charging outlet. Carefully rebuilt from structure to finishes, this home blends the charm of an established Princeton neighborhood with the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind of modern construction. Beautifully reimagined and perfectly situated, 15 Hillside Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy sophisticated, modern living in one of Princeton's most desirable and convenient locations.

Every buyer knows location matters most, and it doesn’t get any better than this if you want to be close to Princeton’s fantastic schools and the many conveniences of the revitalized shopping center. Even in this central location, traffic is minimal, giving the big backyard behind this classic cape a peaceful feel. While the house has curb appeal to spare, the interior is ready for updates. Hardwood flooring spans the living room with a fireplace, as well as the two main level bedrooms. The kitchen has space for a dining in and a door opening out to the bluestone patio. The upper level is full of potential and natural light, while the basement is already finished. Of course, in this prime location, expanding or building brand new are viable options. This house is being sold "as is". The owner had inherited the house and has not lived in it.
