If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a true 1920s farmhouse on a large piece of land that isn’t too remote from civilization, have we got the property for you! With unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunset, this four-bedroom, two-bath home on Princeton’s Carter Road is set back and surrounded by open, farmable fields. Two barns (one pole, and the other connected to water and electricity) await their newest occupants. All you’ll need to bring is your imagination and can-do spirit to restore this classic home to its original grace. The downstairs has a living room and family room, both with as-is fireplaces with a new insert; one of the rooms is currently in use as a first-floor master suite with a beautiful bathroom with glass-doored shower, and built-in bookcases on two adjoining walls. The dining room has built-in cabinetry, floor to ceiling, on either side of the non-working fireplace, and it and the adjoining kitchen feature laminate wood flooring. Tall windows, replaced about 10 years ago, flood the home with natural light. A turned staircase with a window on the landing and a curved banister lead to the second level, where four bedrooms share a modernized hall bath with neutral-hued tiles on the walls and porcelain squares on the floor. Two of the bedrooms have as-is fireplaces, and there is also some built-in shelving in some of the rooms. Pull-down stairs offer easy access to attic storage, while additional storage is available in the basement with Bilco doors. The property is super conveniently located within five minutes’ drive of downtown Princeton and Hopewell. It’s also easy to access a multitude of trails and parks, as well as the train stations in Hamilton, Princeton and Trenton for access to New York City and Philadelphia. In terms of charm and convenience, this property offers the best of both worlds: open farmland set back from the road and enjoying expansive vistas of fields and trees, plus easy access to nearby shopping areas, restaurants, boutiques and medical services. Since the home sits on six acres, it is eligible for farmland assessment which would help ease the tax burden.
