279 Cherry Valley Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
About this home
In a prime location on a lot surrounded by mature trees, here’s the perfect spot to lay down some roots in sought-after Montgomery Township, known for its award-winning schools, verdant public parks, and proximity to downtown Princeton. This sizable and solid home is being sold as-is, but a little elbow grease will bring it right up to date. Blonde wood floors throughout the living spaces and in all three bedrooms provide ease of maintenance. An L-shaped living/dining room opens outside to the deck via French doors adjacent to the roomy and sunny kitchen. Down a few steps find the family room and a large laundry/mudroom with doors to both the backyard and the two-car garage. Three bedrooms include the main bedroom with a private bathroom. There’s also a hall bathroom and a half bath for guests. The driveway includes extra parking. This is a rare find for the value shopper and not to be missed!
