This Princeton bungalow has cornered the market on charm! Fronted by a majestic maple tree, on a favorite close-to-town portion of Mount Lucas Road, this 1936 Sears and Roebuck Ridgeland model captivates with the peaked gable of its fairytale facade, and sun-filled interiors of great character. Hardwoods begin in a welcoming entry. Graceful archways echo in a wainscoted living room, warm with a fireplace and built-in bookcases, and a bright dining room with space for every holiday. The galley kitchen is smartly lined with butcher block counters and ample cabinetry. A crisp white bath serves a first floor bedroom/den, and two large upstairs bedrooms with skylights and deep closets. Thoughtful upkeep includes newer air conditioning, new dryer and a newer water heater. A sweet deck for coffee overlooks a deep yard with room for possible expansion. A sizable basement and Butler shed have storage to spare. It's sidewalks all the way to downtown, a short trip to errands on 206, and don't forget those blue ribbon Princeton Schools!
