78 Westerly Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

About this home

Westerly Rd. is almost completely repaved and new Belgian Block curbing! The location of this shingled single-level home in Princeton's Western Section can't be beat. It's only a mile from Palmer Square, yet stands within the serenity of tall trees and a charming brook. Enter via the louvered door from the sheltered front porch into a generous foyer. The large living room with fireplace is great for entertaining. Wide glass doors here and in the dining room open to a deck. Two exposures in the kitchen provides abundant light shared by the open family room with a bay window of its own. The bedroom wing was expanded so the master suite enjoys a full 5-piece bathroom and his/hers closets. A sectioned hall bath serves 2 more bedrooms with continuous hardwood floors. The bright, dry basement presents a wealth of space, finished and unfinished, including a half bath. Sliders open to a stone terrace and the yard, which eases down to the small brook. A 2-car garage completes the package.
