38-A Carter Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

With a fantastic modern layout already in place, strategic upgrades and high-style embellishments make a big impact at this beautifully refreshed Colonial down a private lane. A sweeping front lawn brings an air of refinement to the otherwise charming country feel of the special location. The backyard retains its wooded privacy even after areas were cleared for easier access to an attractive outbuilding and a sunnier experience out on the deck. Inside, hardwood floors display their natural beauty in a matte finish and color choices reflect a design-savvy aesthetic. Quartz countertops, brushed brass fixtures and gorgeous new lighting transform the kitchen, which takes pride of place at the center of the open floor plan. With a butler’s pantry and a walk-in dry-goods pantry, the island and countertops can remain clutter-free. A stone fireplace is the defining feature of the cathedral family room, while a chandelier by Visual Comfort steals the show in the dining room. Pocket doors separate the living room from a study brightened by a pair of French doors, one of many. In addition to a walk-out lower level with new laminate flooring, a bonus loft wing offers alternative large en-suite guest bedroom and can be used as flex space or transformed into primary suite. The main suite is a serene sanctuary in pure white with a big soaking tub and custom walk-in closet. An office and 2 more bedrooms share the hall bath. Don’t miss the handy pet-washing station in the laundry room, one of several spaces radiating cheer with whimsical wallpaper. Extra features include a propane house generator and car charging outlet in the garage,
