About this home

Didn't think it was possible to find a charming, updated Colonial near the heart of Princeton for this price? Think again. This move-in ready home features a renovated cook's kitchen outfitted with high-end appliances, stylish cabinetry, an abundance of counter space, and plenty of natural light. Gleaming wood floors, elegant woodwork and built-ins lend classic style throughout, while a wood-burning fireplace in the large, front-to-back living room creates a focal gathering place for entertaining and everyday living alike. The dining room, an attractive den and screened porch, plus a bedroom and half bath complete the first level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a hall bath, and the spacious, en suite master has two walk-in closets (one offering easy, walk-up access to the floored attic). A partly finished walkout basement and an attached two-car garage meet a variety of needs. In the unexpectedly large, fenced backyard, boxwoods provide a natural divide between the al fresco dining terrace and vast, expertly landscaped lawn. Welcome Home!
