961 Mercer Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
About this home
Sunlight animates this classic, spacious ranch home, beautifully set on over an acre of gently rolling lawn. Front to back light from opposing bay windows fills the generous living room with a cabinet-flanked fireplace and formal dining room. Adjoining is the family room with glass sliders leading to the herringbone brick patio and picturesque, organically-treated backyard edged in mature trees. White cabinetry and a big bay window brighten the eat-in kitchen, updated with stainless steel appliances. A new powder room is nearby, as is a convenient laundry room. Quietly tucked away down their own hallway, buffered by a wall of closets, are 3 bedrooms and 2 modern, elegantly-appointed baths, featuring custom wood cabinetry and quartz countertops. The tasteful master suite features a walk-in cedar closet and a stylish bath with frameless glass shower, trimmed in pretty tile. The home's hardwood floors provide a timeless charm. Plenty of storage in the 2-car attached garage and a spic and span basement. Coveted neighborhood and excellent Princeton Schools!
