About this home

Tucked away on a wonderful wooded lot, yet minutes from Nassau Street, this colonial is totally updated and truly gorgeous. Large entry opens to lovely living room and formal dining room, having views of the glorious trees. The kitchen is elegant, from the top-of-the line appliances to the custom tile work, and the glass breakfast room is a knock out. The stone fireplace is a focal point of the volume ceilinged family room. On this level you will find a bedroom (en suite) and a study. Upstairs, 4 additional bedrooms (MBR also en suite) complete this perfect Princeton picture. Barn has not been used by current owners and is "as is", but has great potential.
