About this home

Splendid privacy and natural beauty enfold this updated Western Section Colonial - its deep lot picturesque with a babbling stream, glossy laurels, and a pine-framed backyard. You'd never know that Princeton's world-class theaters, restaurants, and University are an easy stroll away! Refinished hardwood floors shine in a lovely balance of intimate and entertaining areas: sunlit dining room, living room with a decorative fireplace, screened porch overlooking the backyard and a cozy family room/5th bedroom with a half bath. Built-in bookcases conquer the clutter in a sky-lit office with a renovated half bath nearby. Quartzite counters and custom Design Line cabinets are stars in the recently remodeled eat-in kitchen, and pair perfectly with a Shaw farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and the newly designed laundry room that adjoins. Hardwoods stretch through 4 bedrooms; 2 spacious baths ready for transformation. A long list of improvements include new 200 amp electrical service and complete electrical overhaul, tankless water heater, and dual zone HVAC; a new Timberline roof and Western cedar siding provide a durable exterior.
