Fully Available! High on a hill above Stony Brook, a Princeton Colonial boasts all the elements that make a home timelessly tasteful and comfortable: real hardwood floors, formal rooms large enough for hosting holiday celebrations, inviting outdoor areas and more. It all begins with the front porch, handsomely rebuilt using maintenance-free materials. The generous foyer graciously welcomes guests inside and offers a perfectly placed powder room. Take in views of the property’s raised World War II victory garden beds and evergreen-enclosed patios from huge windows in the living and dining rooms. Granite, stainless steel and warm cream-colored cabinetry are a pleasing combination in the chef's kitchen, which leads out to a screened porch pierced with skylights. Two patios are enveloped by year-round greenery, one with a fire pit, and the other a sanctuary with hidden-away hot tub. The laundry is situated upstairs, convenient to all 4 sizable bedrooms. The largest is the main suite with extensive built-ins, a walk-in closet and a private bath with a claw-foot tub and separate shower. Guests will appreciate the ample driveway parking that supplements the attached 2-car garage and homeowners will love the quick trip into town, to long-adored Johnson Park School or hike in the institute woods just a mile away. This is a special home that has been loved by only two owners in over 80 years. NOTE on 3/22/22: Just refreshed with some new paint and misc touch ups over the past week. Come see!
