19 Pardoe Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

An ideal Western Section location, a beautiful sun-dappled lot and a house dramatically enlarged for modern living make this an especially appealing home. Set on a quiet street near Mountain Lakes Preserve and crosswalks to Community Park, it pairs a peaceful setting with easy access to some of Princeton’s favorite outdoor destinations. The heart of the home is the open, light-filled kitchen, family room and breakfast nook, where huge windows frame the backyard and built-ins flank the fireplace. The kitchen is designed for communal cooking and gathering, with a large island, abundant recessed lighting, stainless dishwasher drawers and a nearby walk-in pantry. A bar opening to the dining room adds another sink and dishwasher for easy entertaining. Hardwood floors flow into the living room, while the foyer and powder room make a stylish statement with harlequin marble tile. Upstairs, the sprawling primary suite includes a sitting alcove and dressing room with its own stacked washer/dryer. A full-size laundry room serves three additional bedrooms, each with direct bath access. Downstairs, three flexible rooms open up all kinds of possibilities for work, hobbies, play and overnight visits. The guest room gets an extra dose of personality from fun vintage wallpaper paired with new carpeting, while a full bath makes the entire level exceptionally comfortable for both guests and everyday use. Outside, a bluestone patio overlooks the backyard, while a wide driveway leads to the attached two-car garage. With its thoughtful layout, timeless finishes, abundant space and less than 1 mile from Nassau Street, this house makes everyday living feel remarkably easy.
