About This Home
In a no-through street neighborhood lined with mature leafy trees, this deceptively spacious five-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers exceptional flexibility, including the potential for primary bedroom suites on both the first and second floors. From the curb, the home feels charming and understated with its classic covered front porch, but inside, the scale and thoughtful updates truly impress. Wood floors run throughout the main living areas, adding warmth and continuity across the first level. The living room is anchored by a fireplace with an elegant mantle, while custom-built-in bookcases add both character and functionality on both the first and second floors. The kitchen is designed with practicality in mind, featuring a center island, stainless steel appliances, a Miele dishwasher, a Viking warming drawer, and a chef’s hood vented to the exterior. The adjacent dining area flows into a heated sunroom with baseboard heat, creating a versatile year-round living space. Double doors open to the fenced backyard, where a large patio makes entertaining uncomplicated. The first floor includes three bedrooms, one of which currently serves as a nursery and features its own private bathroom, making it an ideal first-floor primary suite. A second full hall bathroom serves the additional main-level bedrooms. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share a spacious bathroom, while a loft area adds even more flexible living space. The finished basement greatly expands the home’s footprint with a handy half bath. Located within one of New Jersey’s most sought-after school systems with the bus stop right on the corner, and just over a mile from the Princeton Junction Train Station and Princeton University, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of peaceful suburban living and convenient access to vibrant amenities.
