About this home

It's the best of both worlds, the tranquility of a deep, woodsy lot and the convenience of being under a mile from town and Princeton University. Donning exterior colors that blend with nature, this multi-level home celebrates its surrounds. The fenced pool with stone decking draws everyone outdoors from late-spring until the leaves fall. The interior begins with an inviting living room off the foyer, complete with built-ins and a fireplace. The kitchen, dining room and sun room all flow together and revel in natural light. A few steps down, the large family room has a brick fireplace and a door to the patio. Two separate offices keep everyone's work in order and a full bath lends flexibility, while yet another walk-out lower level room can be anything from a studio to a hobbyist's escape. The master suite is situated on the top floor away from disruptions. A second bedroom has a bathroom en suite and two more share a hall bath, both fully tiled. Don't forget to check out the bonus loft and the 2-car garage, roomy enough to hold pool supplies and more.
