About this home

A vintage charmer, steps from adorable Main Street and the fine dining of Eno Terra, has all the expected allure of a well maintained period home, as well as a surprise that adds valuable space and flexibility. Within the gated corner lot, where bountiful blooms were orchestrated to show their colors one after another, is a converted studio, complete with heat and A/C. The cathedral-capped space is ready to accommodate more than one work-from-home set-up, the ultimate gym and/or an artist’s haven. Also encircling the perfectly sized lawn are a stone patio, raised planting beds, a shed, a sweet little playhouse and off-street parking. The home’s backdoor opens to a mudroom with laundry and a half bath. The kitchen was upgraded with Bosch and Electrolux appliances surrounding a farm sink and a huge pantry. Absolutely gleaming with a fresh coat of poly, it is rare to find original wood floors still intact on both levels. Just like the living room below, one of the 3 comfortable bedrooms has a pretty window bay. The hall bath sports classic white fixtures and a hex tile floor. Utterly enchanting!

On a quaint side street in the Village of Kingston, a picket fence encloses the enchanting garden of a vintage Colonial with three nicely sized bedrooms and a separate studio to use as you please. Stone walkways edge planting beds and extend beneath the branches of a beautiful mature tree on the way to the deck and welcoming back entry with handy powder room and laundry. The kitchen is a lovely combination of new and old with a stainless steel range set within a granite-topped island with wide antique pine floorboards underneath. The dining room is large enough to host holiday meals and the living room has a pretty bay. The full bath upstairs is all white and period appropriate. An amazing garage renovation yielded a handsome two-room space with high ceilings and unlimited uses: workplace, man cave, yoga studio, art gallery? With popular cafes, restaurants and the NYC bus stop just around the corner, this South Brunswick property (with Princeton mailing address) is as convenient as it is charming.
