288 Jefferson Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
About this home
With nicely proportioned rooms spanning a single level, an enchanting backyard and a coveted location steps from Princeton’s celebrated schools, this ranch home is appealing to a range of lifestyles. The tidy exterior with brick walkway is a sign of good things to come. With hardwood flooring and window seats flanking a fireplace, the living room gives a warm welcome. The eat-in kitchen feels even larger than its true generous size thanks to a peaked ceiling pierced with skylights shedding sunshine across granite countertops in a leathered finish. The beamed family room, adjoining, also offers space for everyone to take a seat and settle in around yet another fireplace. Since the backyard is so private and peaceful, it’s nice to have a 3-season screened porch from which to enjoy it, even on a rainy day. Step out to the brick patio with tucked-away garden shed from the porch or from the bedroom wing brightened up by even more skylights. All 3 bedrooms have hardwood floors and the main suite boasts a new bathroom with a marble-tiled shower cleverly designed to increase natural light. The laundry and a cedar-lined hall closets are handy to all.
