You'll want to steal away to the framing shade gardens, maintenance-free deck perfect for al fresco dinners, and to the fire pit, where you can sweetly celebrate day's end with s'mores. This gracious center-hall Colonial simply shines with an effortless floor plan, white oak floors, and thoughtful millwork. A pocket door unites a party-sized dining room with the living room, so that both may glimpse the latter's bookcase-flanked fireplace. In the updated kitchen, there are granite counters and glass tile for sparkle, and fine appliances that include a Viking gas range for practicality. A front-of-house den/office keeps things relaxed and organized. Upstairs, a master suite impresses with twin cedar-lined walk-ins and a wainscoted bath; 3 bedrooms share a hall bath. A partial finished basement with plenty of storage and play space is ready for exercise or dance, thanks to a mirrored wall and barre. This cul-de-sac home with an attached 2-car garage is close to all the delightful parks, schools, and culture that Princeton has to offer.
