Property Description

The grounds of this Princeton-area home offer a rich and immersive setting, with two acres of established gardens backing to Carson Woods. Something is always in bloom throughout the growing season, whether it's daffodils, iris, rhododendrons, azaleas, roses, or a pear tree; all take their turn in the spotlight. Hundred-year-old boxwoods, grapevines, and vegetable beds complement the floral abundance. Built in 1925 and thoughtfully expanded in 1972, this graceful home boasts a generous and flexible floor plan, featuring four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The addition brought a spacious family room and a primary bedroom suite, enhancing the home's livability while preserving its originality. Formal living and dining rooms offer generous spaces for hosting, and a heated sunporch provides a serene view of the garden. The roomy footprint of this classic home offers ample space for updates, with well-defined areas that can be reimagined or refined to suit a range of design goals. Just minutes away from farmstands, retail centers, Princeton's vibrant heart, and Hopewell Borough's beloved old town feel, this home is full of untapped potential.
