One short block away from shopping and restaurants, this sunlit contemporary home is embraced by curved pathways, flower beds and an expansive deck with wisteria-draped pergola. A flowing floor plan is enhanced by vaulted ceilings, angled windows and skylights. A dining room is perfect for large gatherings, while the sunken living room charms with built-in bookshelves and woodburning fireplace. Taking its color cue from nature, the kitchen connects to the deck and is well-appointed with granite counters, newer gas cooktop and dishwasher. Built-in cupboards flank a 2nd fireplace in the adjoining skylit family room. A spacious master with walk in closet and en suite bath, connects to a bedroom currently set up as an office. Upstairs are 2 more sunny bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, served by a full bath. Loads of closets, an attached 2-car garage and a spic and span basement with laundry offer ample storage. This wonderfully convenient location is only moments to vibrant downtown, and enjoys access to top-rated Princeton schools.
