Property Description
Complete with a 2-car garage and a big backyard, it's hard to believe this 1920's charmer offering zip-everywhere convenience is available in Princeton! Tons of stores and services are right up the road from the quarter-acre, picket-fenced lot and Princeton High School and Middle School are both just over two miles away. Bluestone steps lead up to the portico entry. Inside, triple windows and a brick fireplace make the living room a welcoming spot to hang out, both day and night. Wood floors flow into the sizable dining room, which is just as comfortable for homework sessions and game nights as it is for lively meals. The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and an easy-care stone floor, opens right out to the sunny backyard. You'll find lots of extra built-in storage within the handy powder room, plus a full basement and walk-up attic ready to accommodate all your boxes and bins. Upstairs, three corner bedrooms with pretty glass doorknobs and breezy ceiling fans radiate from the roomy landing. The bathroom is nice and neutral, just like the rest of the interior. Double paned windows and central A/C enhance efficiency and comfort. There's really no better value to be had in Princeton!
