A garden of fresh blooming crocuses and a white picket fence welcome visitors to this charming 2-story contemporary home. A slate walkway leads to a mini front porch, and within, without a doubt, the key to this house is light! New casement windows bring in morning and afternoon sun, and the family-friendly, open concept lay-out offers an uninterrupted flow from the dining area and family room to the outdoor deck overlooking the backyard and adjacent Institute woods. French doors access a cozy den/home office, and the light and airy eat-in kitchen features a neutral beige and white decor. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and bath with tub and shower. Three additional bedrooms feature roomy closets, and the nearby hall bathroom includes track lighting. The large carpeted finished basement is versatile enough to serve as a playroom, home theater, or exercise area. Hardwood floors throughout the house and wood-burning fireplace are distinctive features, as is the newer roof. The property's proximity to the historic Princeton Battlefield and the easy walk to town via Institute trails offer a unique setting and inviting opportunity to a new resident.
